Chiara Bianchi has always known her role in Saint Marin’s violent world would be anything but easy. As the Donna of the Bianchi famiglia, she fights every day to prove her strength in a ruthless, male-dominated underworld. But the greatest battle she faces isn’t waged in blood—it’s in her heart. Torn between her duty and her forbidden love for Emilia Moretti, her childhood best friend now promised to another, Chiara walks a dangerous line where one misstep could mean the end of her family and herself.
As the violence escalates, Chiara faces impossible decisions. To prove her worth as Donna, she must make unimaginable sacrifices—sacrifices that could destroy her, even as they save those she loves. Chiara must decide whether she can still hold onto the pieces of her shattered heart—and the woman who has always owned it.

I really wanted to like this book considering that it is my first sapphic mafia romance. I went into it intending to love it 100% and then Emilia entered the chat and showed her true colors. The audacity of that woman to choose everyone else but Chiara and then ask her to be by her side every step of the way (for her wedding) while Chiara suffered in silence was sealed the deal. Emilia was selfish. She wanted to have her cake and eat it too. The further I got into the story the more I hated her.
Stefan deserved better and if he turned out to be an absolute asshole after Chiara was so cold to him and then called off their engagement (because Emilia finally decided that she wanted to choose her because “Angelo couldn’t protect her the way Chiara could”) I wouldn’t have blamed him. No one will ever change my mind that if she (Emilia) hadn’t been kidnapped she never would’ve called off her engagement to Angelo. The plot itself was good and the writing style was even better, if it weren’t for Emilia and how much she irked my soul, this would’ve been rated higher.
