They call me the Virgin Queen because I can never marry...
Clara
I am Clara Hagi, the Virgin Queen. I may not be allowed to marry, but I will be the first woman to rule a mafia clan.
I ache for Tatum, the consilier of the Lupu family. I love his piercing black eyes, his tall, muscle-bound frame, his touch, his commands, his beguiling strain of vulnerability-I love it all.
The one time and only time he kissed me-my first kiss-was a mistake.
That's what he called it.
A mistake.
He'll regret those words; I'll make sure of it.
Tatum
Nothing good came from kissing that girl, Clara. A girl whose clan hates mine. A girl who's off-limits. A girl I should loathe.
I live and breathe the Lupu clan, and I do it perfectly. I'm charged with getting the Virgin Queen under control. Once I do, my clan will rule LA, just as it rules NYC.
Every time I see her, I remember. Every time we spar, I want to kiss her. Every time we accidentally touch, I ache for her.
One kiss would never be enough. Maybe bedding her will get her out of my system, virginity bedamned.
But what if I fall for the Virgin Queen?
She deserves better than a tainted man like me.
