The Velvet Ledger: A Mafia Romance
READING AGE 16+
For five years, Thallo Vane was the ghost behind her husband’s success—the plus-size, overlooked wife who secretly structured his business contracts, absorbed his family’s cruel insults, and cleaned up his financial ruins. On their fifth anniversary, she discovered his grand betrayal: pre-drafted divorce papers, a gold-digging mistress, and a plot to leave her destitute.
She didn't cry. Instead, she signed the papers, stepped out of the shadows, and walked straight into the lethal, high-stakes underworld of European organized crime.
As a brilliant attorney who actually managed the laundering portfolios for the city's most feared syndicates, Thallo is no victim. Forced into a dangerous arrangement with a powerful Italian mobster and "loaned" as a high-stakes companion and strategist to three elite mafia associates, she becomes the ultimate prize in a deadly game of corporate espionage and territorial war. Now, six powerful, sophisticated men—from her unhinged, stalker ex-husband to ruthless mafia capos and rival clan leaders—are vying for her mind, her loyalty, and her body. But Thallo isn't being played. She is playing them all.
