As the daughter of the most feared mafia leader in England, I've always known my destiny was written in the shadows of my family's legacy. But when I step through the hallowed halls of Castle University, my life becomes more than a mere extension of the Hughes empire—I become the queen on a chessboard of power, betrayal, and forbidden desire.

They call them the Kings of Castle. Each of them is a piece in a game I was born to play, and the stakes are my heart.

But as I draw closer to each of these four magnetic men, an unseen threat looms over us, a dark presence that knows my every move before I make it. The game has begun, the pieces are moving, and I must keep my throne at all costs.

Because in this world of kings and pawns, I am not just playing for my legacy—I am playing for my life. And when the final move is made, will I stand as the ruler of Castle.
