Guarding Her Gangster Queen by Persephone Black (The Colombo Family Duet, 2)

Brie Colombo is done running. Once a widow escaping the Colombo Family, she returns to Vegas ready to claim her place as their Queen. She refuses to let Nik Kusek keep sacrificing everything for her, especially after Nik has protected her, killed for her, and turned against her own people. Now Brie wants the casino, the Family, and the truth about who murdered the old Don. But every faction wants her gone.

The Colombos think she betrayed them, her husband’s killer is still hunting her, and the Novak Consortium wants her out of the way to pull Nik back under their control. Brie knows Nik is no longer theirs. She is hers. With enemies closing in from all sides, Brie and Nik enter a deadly game where the stakes are higher than ever, and this time Brie is playing for keeps.
