Ava Romano had always lived in the shadows of the powerful Romano crime family, but she never imagined her life would be consumed by it. As the youngest daughter of the notorious Mafia boss, Don Giovanni Romano, she has grown up with the weight of expectations on her shoulders-expectations that she would marry, take on her role in the family business, and become a queen in a world of power and deception. But Ava has always longed for a life beyond the family's criminal empire, a life that was her own, free from the violent legacy of her ancestors.
When her father unexpectedly dies under mysterious circumstances, everything changes. The once-unimaginable happens: Ava is thrust into the role of the Mafia boss, the first woman in history to lead the Romano family. The men who once answered to her father now look to her for leadership-and, despite the fear and uncertainty that churns within her, Ava must rise to the occasion or risk losing everything.
With rivals circling, plotting to take control of the family business, and betrayal lurking around every corner, Ava quickly realizes that she is not just a figurehead. To survive, she must outsmart her enemies, play the dangerous game of power, and show the ruthless world that she is just as capable, if not more, than any man who came before her. The pressure mounts as she navigates deadly alliances, power struggles, and the challenge of proving herself in a world that was never meant for a woman to lead.
But Ava's strength is tested when she crosses paths with Luca Vito, a cold, calculating enforcer with ties to one of the most feared Mafia families in the country. From their first meeting, there's an undeniable tension between them-an electric attraction that neither can ignore, but one that could be as dangerous as it is irresistible. As the lines between business and pleasure blur, Ava must decide whether she can trust Luca or if his loyalty lies elsewhere. In the cutthroat world of the Mafia, where betrayal is always just a whisper away, love may be the deadliest gamble of all.
I'm the Mafia Boss is a story of power, betrayal, and love in the dangerous world of organized crime. It's a high-stakes, suspense-filled journey of a woman stepping into the most dangerous role of all-Mafia boss-and finding both the strength and vulnerability to lead the family, all while navigating the treacherous waters of love and loyalty. Ava's path is a storm of bloodshed, deceit, and passion, and she will need to decide just how far she's willing to go to protect what's hers. In the world of the Mafia, you can trust no one-but sometimes, you have no choice but to trust your heart.
