Synopsis:
Seth Morgan has returned home after two years spent building an alliance that will take his family's crime syndicate to a new level in New York City's black collar society. He expects a warm welcome as heir of the Morgan empire. He hopes to finally marry Nicolette, the woman he's loved his whole life.
What he finds is a different world, one where his family's legacy is in ruins. His big brother, Caleb, has changed into someone cold and bitter, plotting to overthrow their patriarch. And Nicolette, daughter of the criminal banking industry, has left the family entirely.
When a vicious misunderstanding leaves Caleb dead, Seth is left reeling. Desperate for truth, Seth is forced to turn to his only remaining cousin, Emma, for support. As he tries to mend his relationship with Nicolette, he begins a search for answers that will take him from the dirty streets to the highest reaches of their illicit empire.
Torn between the desire to protect those who mean the most to him, and a need to learn more about Caleb's death, he grows distant to protect them. As each secret surfaces, he realizes that the only way to restore his family is to take his place at its head, and fully embrace the brutal way they live.
Review:
A dark, intense story about a mafia prince returning home to find his place in "the family" after two years away. Full of violence, suspense, secrets, betrayal, and more. There is some romance, but the focus is on Seth and his cousin Emma and how they fit into this mafia family.I had a hard time at first with the shifts in POV, trying to figure out which characters were important and who I was supposed to care about. Between that and the descriptive writing I had to re-read parts to figure out what was going on. But the story was good and there was plenty to keep the pages turning.
My Rating: ****
Steam Factor: !!!!
*Notes: Violence, language, drug use
