Queen of Mafia (Mafia)

In a world where power is everything and survival is a constant battle, Queen of Mafia is a thrilling, high-octane story of a woman who rises from the shadows of a ruthless empire to claim her rightful place at the throne of the mafia underworld. Carmen DeLuca has always been underestimated. The daughter of the late Don Matteo DeLuca, the head of one of the most powerful mafia families in Italy, Carmen was raised in a world of blood, betrayal, and ruthless power plays. But unlike her male counterparts, she was kept on the periphery of the family business, her potential buried under layers of tradition and sexism. Her brothers, Matteo Jr. and Marco, were groomed for leadership, while Carmen was expected to remain a pawn in their game-a beautiful face, a symbol of the family's legacy, but nothing more. That was until tragedy struck. When a brutal betrayal wipes out the DeLuca family leadership, leaving the mafia empire fractured and vulnerable, Carmen finds herself thrust into a deadly game for control. The mafia world she once thought she understood is now a battlefield, and Carmen has no choice but to fight for what's rightfully hers. With her father's death still fresh in the minds of both allies and enemies, Carmen is faced with an impossible choice: let the family she loves fall apart, or step into her father's shoes and claim the title that's always been hers-Queen of the Mafia. But being a woman in a man's world is no easy feat. As Carmen navigates the violent underworld, she must confront not only rival crime families but the deeply entrenched traditions of her own family. Her brothers, who once dismissed her as weak, are now at odds with her claim to power. Allies become enemies, and enemies become dangerous lovers. Carmen must use her sharp intellect, ruthless instincts, and the unexpected alliances she forges to outmaneuver those who wish to see her fail. As Carmen takes her seat at the head of the DeLuca family, she discovers that being the Queen isn't just about wielding power-it's about surviving the treacherous world she rules. With every decision, lives hang in the balance, and betrayal lurks at every corner. To maintain control, Carmen will have to prove herself more lethal than her enemies-and more cunning than the men who underestimate her.
