The Inheritance Game

Your name is Eliana Snow, and you hate your life. At 20, you're stuck working at a coffee shop, waiting to inherit the fortune your parents left you when you turn 21. But your uncle, the trustee, isn't content to wait. He's already making your life a living hell.

The bruises on your face, a mosaic of purple, green, and yellow, are thanks to your cousin, Ethan. He broke into your apartment, a clear message from his father: give up the inheritance, or else.

The police are useless, offering little help. Your younger adoptive sister, Casey, is a handful and facing her own troubles, risking being taken away by social services. You're out of money, out of options, and running out of time. Desperate, you confide in your friend Eva, who suggests a radical solution: find a husband, a strategic marriage to secure your future and protect Casey.

And Eva knows just the people who might arrange such a thing – the Vincenti brothers, figures from her past, rumored to be connected to the mafia. Dangerous, powerful, and possibly your only hope.
