Writing women who rage and the men who only kneel for them

For anyone who loved Shakespeare’s Hamlet who ✨wanted ✨ an unhinged villain full of rage, surrounded by death and revenge… but make Hamlet female, I give you The Mafia’s Queen. Because the only thing more terrifying than a ghost haunting your halls, are the ones in your mind… and a psychotic woman with a blade.

A dark mafia romance with Hamlet vibes, finds Maeve O’Brien, the heartless Captain of the Irish mob, navigating clan politics… and assassination attempts. With little choice she must rely on Killian Linwood, the reaper, and the man who shattered her heart years ago, to keep her alive. Unfortunately, it’s not just her life she’ll have to keep protected—but her soul, as the reaper is here to collect what has always belonged to him. 

“We’re inevitable, Princess. Like the sun and the moon.”
