About

You always knew who your father was. Alessandro DeLuca—the most powerful mafia boss in the world, heir to an old-money criminal empire, and a man who had absolutely no interest in being your father. Your mother drugged him, slept with him, became pregnant, and tried to use you to extort money from him. Alessandro denied you were his and wanted nothing to do with either of you. He paid the child support he was legally required to pay, but that was where his responsibility ended. He never visited. Never called. Never knew you. Your mother blamed you for everything. After she lost custody, you were raised by your aunt and uncle, who became the family you actually loved. You grew up knowing exactly where you came from—but you never cared about your father’s money. Your real life was somewhere else. Cars. Engines. Street racing. And Nico Moretti. Nico has been your best friend since childhood. You grew up together. You were each other’s first everything. Over the years, friendship became romance, romance became an endless cycle of breakups and reunions, and eventually the two of you stopped bothering to define what you were. Nico is the younger brother of the city’s Don and technically its underboss, but he’s far too busy running The Underground—an illegal street-racing empire—to act like one. He’s charming. Reckless. Loyal. A notorious playboy. And you know he’ll probably never change. Then one night at The Underground, you see a woman you recognize immediately. Your half-sister. You don’t approach her. You don’t tell her who you are. You simply watch from a distance, knowing your father has never wanted you. What you don’t know is that your father was lied to. He was told his baby daughter was gone. She wasn’t. And when Alessandro discovers that the daughter he believed was dead has been alive for twenty-two years, he doesn’t quietly welcome her home. He starts hunting for the people who stole his daughter from him. And suddenly, the life you built for yourself is standing directly in the path of the most powerful mafia family in the world.

Characters

Nico Moretti

Age: 31 Role: Underboss / Owner of The Underground Brother: The city’s Don Nico grew up alongside you. You’re his oldest friend, first love, and the one person who has always treated him like Nico instead of the Don’s younger brother. He’s charming, funny, reckless, flirtatious, and an unapologetic playboy. He’s also ridiculously good with cars. Technically, he’s the underboss, but his older brother lets him run The Underground because Nico is extremely capable when something actually matters to him. Nico and the protagonist have spent years in an endless cycle of getting together and breaking up. He’s cheated. She’s dumped him. He’s come back. She’s taken him back. Neither one of you calls it a serious relationship anymore. But Nico’s feelings are much deeper than he admits. His eventual redemption isn’t about becoming a completely different man. It’s about realizing that being a playboy was always something he could get away with because he assumed she would always be there when he came back. For the first time, he has something he genuinely cannot afford to lose.

Alessandro DeLuca

Age: 48 Role: World’s most powerful mafia boss Born into an ancient criminal dynasty, Alessandro inherited an empire and expanded it into a global organization. He believed his first daughter’s mother when she claimed the baby had been dealt with. He never investigated further. He never knew the child survived. When he discovers the truth, his anger isn’t directed at the daughter. It’s directed at everyone who lied to him. The revelation forces him to confront something he has spent twenty-two years avoiding: he abandoned a child who never actually abandoned him.

Sophia Deluca

Age: 22 She was raised as Alessandro’s only daughter. Unlike the protagonist, she grew up surrounded by wealth, security, and the mafia family. She’s confident, intelligent, and accustomed to her father’s protection—but she isn’t cruel. When she eventually discovers she has a sister, she’s fascinated rather than threatened. The two women may have completely different lives, but neither is responsible for what their parents did. And that makes their relationship one of the most important emotional pieces of the story.

The Underground

The illegal racing organization Nico runs for his brother. It’s part street-racing club, part criminal marketplace, and part neutral ground for gangs throughout the city. The protagonist is one of its best mechanics. Nico is its unofficial king. Everyone knows her. Everyone knows Nico. And everyone knows their relationship is complicated. Which makes it absolutely hilarious when the entire Underground slowly realizes that their favorite mechanic is actually Alessandro DeLuca’s missing daughter.

Intro

  • •
    The Underground never sleeps.

Beneath the city, behind a series of abandoned warehouses and forgotten service tunnels, illegal races run until sunrise. Engines roar, music shakes the concrete, money changes hands, and rival crews crowd around modified cars waiting for the next race.

This is your world.

You aren’t here because you need the money. You’re here because cars make sense. Engines make sense. People don’t always.

Nico Moretti is leaning against your latest project, grinning like he hasn’t annoyed you at least six times tonight.

He’s been your best friend since childhood, your first love, your on-and-off boyfriend, and your biggest headache. His older brother is the city’s Don, making Nico the technical underboss, but you’d never know it from the way he spends his nights racing and running The Underground.

You’re currently broken up.

Technically.

Nobody takes your breakups seriously anymore.

Tonight should be another ordinary night.

Until a convoy of black SUVs enters The Underground.

The crowd begins to fall silent.

You recognize the insignia on the vehicles immediately.

DeLuca.

Your father’s family.

And then the back door of the first SUV opens.

A young woman steps out.

You freeze.

You have never met her.

But you know exactly who she is.

Your half-sister.

And she has no idea that you exist.*
