When feared mafia matriarch Ottavia Serra finally finds the daughter she lost eighteen years ago, Zella is nothing like the heiress everyone expected—tattooed, sharp-tongued, and raised on the streets. Beside her stands Celia, the sweet, polished best friend the Serra family instantly prefers. Ottavia knows how dangerous that preference can become. In her previous life, Celia stole Zella’s place, her family, and her future, leaving Zella to die believing she was never loved. Now Ottavia has been given another chance. This time, she will choose her daughter every single time—and anyone who tries to make Zella feel replaceable again will pay the price.
