Running the Sabatelli Empire

Elena Sabatelli left Chicago at nineteen with a fake ID and no intention of coming back. Twelve years later she runs a logistics company in Rotterdam that moves freight for half of Europe, and not one of her clients knows her last name. Then her brother dies in a car that wasn't an accident, and a will she never knew about names her the new don. The capos won't accept her. Sal Ricci already promised her hand to a rival family to buy peace, and he's not asking. So Elena does the thing nobody in the room expects: she opens her own books on the table and shows both families how much of their money moves through her ports. Too expensive to marry off. Too useful to kill. Her only ally is the one man her brother never trusted — Nico Sabatelli, who has been buying up the family's debt for three years and wants the empire for himself. He'll settle for half of it. And her. Elena has never once been given a choice she didn't write herself.
