The Capo's Secret Daughter

Elena Marsh needed a job. She got a father. Viktor Antonov runs the Golden Anchor and every dock from Red Hook to Coney Island. When he hires a broke bookkeeper with his dead lover's eyes, he already knows her name, her address, and the exact day she was born. He keeps her close. He tells himself it's protection. He tells himself it's penance. He is lying to himself in a language Elena is only beginning to learn. Because Elena is Viktor's daughter — a secret her mother buried twenty-three years ago and Viktor has spent every one of those years counting. When a rival crew takes her to hurt him, Viktor pays in fire. When she learns what he is, Elena pays in silence. She walks out with his ledgers and a plan that will cost them both everything. Some families are forged. Some are billed.
