I never planned to lose my heart to Carina Greco. I’m a student attorney, and the girl who’s been clawing her way out of a last name people whisper about. I keep my head down, work cases, and pretend Ravenport’s knives don’t have my blood on them. Then Carina Greco looks at me in the law library—blue eyes, silk over steel, the Greco family’s notorious assassin playing at being a student—and my careful life tilts. We’re born on opposite sides of the city’s truce: I want out of the fire; she is the fire. She hunts me with a fierce obsession. She makes me want to let her burn me. In Ravenport, contracts hide violence and desire is the most dangerous clause. If I choose her, I might burn the bridge I built to freedom. If I walk away from her, I’ll never stop looking back. Falling for Carina? It might be the most reckless case I’ll ever take on—and the first one I want to lose. Welcome to Ravenport. This is a dark sapphic mafia romance. It is a standalone in the Queens of Ravenport world. See inside for content warnings.
