Produktbeschreibung

Penelope Dahl is the last surviving member of the notorious Dahl crime family-an empire steeped in power, tradition, and blood. But as a woman, no one expects her to inherit the legacy. Her grandfather Walt, the family's formidable patriarch, devises a secret plan: he betroths her in childhood to an unknown man and gives her a family ring engraved with her future husband's birthday-the only proof of the arranged bond. When Penelope turns of age, she is sent to New York to meet her mysterious fiancé and assume her place in the criminal hierarchy.

But her journey derails before it begins. On the eve of her departure, Walt is murdered by Michael-his ruthless second-in-command-who harbors ambitions to marry Penelope himself and seize control. When Penelope arrives in New York and no fiancé appears, she refuses to return home, raising Michael's fury. Desperate to control her, he locates the man he believes to be Penelope's intended-Jack-and brings him into his inner circle in Germany, grooming him as a pawn.

Meanwhile, Penelope begins to rebuild her life in New York and unexpectedly falls in love with Jeff, a man far removed from the mafia world. When Michael learns of their relationship, he sends Jack to New York, hoping Jack will murder Jeff in a jealous rage and break Penelope's spirit. His plan partially succeeds-Jeff is killed-but instead of collapsing, Penelope hardens. Jack remains in New York, posing as her loyal guardian.

Two years pass before Jack finally reveals his identity, claiming to be her betrothed. But Penelope knows the truth-his birthday doesn't match the ring. Still, she plays along. Infertile and fearful of the family's reaction, Penelope schemes to use Jack and escape the Dahl legacy entirely. She convinces Michael and the family that she and Jack will return to Germany to rule together. But Jack, far more dangerous and calculating than she imagined, has his own secrets-and his own agenda.

As alliances shift and lies unravel, Penelope must outwit them all if she hopes to survive-not just as a Dahl, but as a woman reclaiming her power in a world that wants to silence her.
