Rotten Loyalty

In the glittering, blood-stained underworld of Miami, the Marino name was once synonymous with absolute loyalty—until the ultimate betrayal turned a brotherhood into a slaughter. Seven years ago, Elena Marino was the protected princess of a syndicate, framed and discarded while her brother Leo, the family’s golden heart, was brutally murdered by the very people he died to save. After surviving years of homelessness, human trafficking, and the scorched-earth reality of war zones, Elena has returned from the dead as a hardened medic with a single purpose. She isn't here to reclaim her throne; she’s here to dismantle the lives of her obsessive ex-husband and the woman who orchestrated her brother’s end. Armed with a hidden inheritance and the protection of a scarred new ally, Elena must navigate a landscape of crushing remorse and shifting power to bury her past—and finally give her brother the justice he was denied.
