I went to his funeral to take a photograph. I ended up in his basement.
My name is Elena Vale. I’m a crime photographer who documents funerals, murder scenes, and bloodstained truths. For eight years, I’ve been chasing the so-called “accident” that killed my father—a state prosecutor who died the same night as one of New York’s most powerful mafia bosses.
I thought I was chasing a story. I was wrong. I was chasing a man.
Alessio Valenti is the youngest mafia boss in New York, a ruthless crime lord born into a powerful mafia family. He is dangerous, unpredictable, and untouchable.
When he caught me photographing his brother’s funeral, I expected to die. Instead, he untied me and said:
“Your father and my father—they died for the same reason. The killer is still alive.”
Now I’m living inside his world—inside a mafia mansion filled with secrets, violence, and blood debts. Sleeping in his dead mother’s bedroom. Learning how to hold a gun with his hands over mine. He says I’m under his protection. He says I’m a strategic asset in a mafia war between rival families.
But when he looks at me with those cold gray eyes, I know the truth: I’m not just a pawn in a mafia power struggle.
I’m becoming something far more dangerous.
The deeper we dig, the more the truth unravels. Our fathers weren’t enemies—they were allies who uncovered a hidden criminal empire known only as The Circle, a decades-old conspiracy controlling the police, politicians, and mafia families of New York from the shadows.
And now, The Circle is cleaning up loose ends.
Alessio Valenti is a monster. A morally grey mafia antihero who has killed without hesitation—including his own family. But he is also a man shaped by violence, fear, and survival. And when I see the scars on his hands… I start to understand the boy buried beneath the crime lord.
Because in this world, love is not safe.
It is possession. Obsession. Power.
And falling in love with a mafia boss might be the most dangerous decision I ever make.
THE LAST HEIR is the first book in the CITY OF KINGS series—a dark mafia romance filled with enemies-to-lovers tension, forced proximity, slow burn chemistry, forbidden attraction, and high-stakes criminal power struggles.
Perfect for fans of:
Sophie Lark, Cora Reilly, Rina Kent, and dark billionaire mafia romance with morally grey heroes and strong heroines.
