The City of Saints: A Dark Mafia Romance (City of Kings Book 4)
He was never supposed to be born.
One birth certificate. One covered name. One truth Alessio Valenti has spent his entire life running from—he is not Giovanni Valenti's son. He is a product. A weapon designed in a laboratory called Cerberus, raised to rule a criminal empire he was never meant to inherit.
And the people who made him are still watching.
Elena Vale has spent eight years chasing the truth about her father's murder. Now she has it. The Circle—the shadow government that killed Richard Vale and built Alessio into a monster—is finally within reach. But the truth comes with a price. To destroy the men who took everything from her, Elena must become something she swore she would never be.
Something worse than Alessio.
When a Cerberus operative named Charles Gray kidnaps Elena, Alessio does what he was born to do. He burns New York to the ground. Every warehouse. Every safe house. Every man who touched her. Twenty-six hours of calculated, methodical destruction—and when it's over, he carries her out of the fire in his arms.
But the woman he carries out is not the woman who was taken.
Elena emerges from the dark with a gun in her hand and a kill list in her heart. She is no longer a journalist documenting the war. She is the war. And when she discovers the existence of a hidden sister—Adriana, a girl she never knew existed, raised in the same system that manufactured Alessio—Elena makes a choice that even Alessio cannot follow.
She will protect her sister. She will burn The Circle to ash. And she will not ask for permission.
The City of Saints is the fourth book in the CITY OF KINGS series—a dark mafia romance where the line between hero and monster disappears, where love is measured in blood, and where two broken people discover that the only thing more dangerous than ruling the underworld is ruling it together.
The dark throne is waiting.
And this time, she's the one sitting on it.
