Empire of Ash
Amelia Stone
When love becomes the deadliest weapon of all.
Raven Blackthorne has spent her entire life perfecting the art of deception. Trained by legendary thief Vincent Chen, she can slip into any identity, crack any safe, read any mark. But when Vincent is murdered—execution-style, two bullets to the chest—Raven discovers that all her skills were preparation for one final infiltrating the Moretti crime family to destroy them from within.
The Dante Moretti, heir to a criminal empire built on blood and lies.
Dante should be just another mark. The conflicted son trying to legitimize his father's business while drowning in guilt over crimes he can barely remember. But when Raven meets him at an exclusive gallery opening, posing as art expert Dr. Elena Vasquez, she discovers something that threatens Dante Moretti might be the only honest man in his family's world of beautiful deceptions.
The Someone else is playing a deadlier game.
As Raven digs deeper into Vincent's murder, she uncovers a conspiracy that spans generations—corrupt judges, federal informants, and a sister willing to kill anyone who threatens her brother's innocence. Sofia Moretti has been protecting Dante from their family's darkest secrets, and she sees Raven as the ultimate threat to everything she's built.
The Justice or love. Truth or survival. Family loyalty or moral courage.
When the FBI closes in and bodies start dropping, Raven and Dante must decide what they're willing to the lies that protect them, the family ties that define them, or the love that could destroy them both. Because in a world where everyone is playing someone else, the most dangerous game is falling for your enemy.
Some empires are built on power. Others are built on love. Both burn just as bright—and just as deadly.
