Blood Vows, Stolen Bride
Your mother's champagne glass hits the marble floor the second Don Varro Mancini announces your name — not hers — as his bride. The entire dining room freezes, forty witnesses to the most dangerous social humiliation in Chicago's underworld. Celeste Ashford does not cry. She smiles, and that smile is the most terrifying thing you have ever seen on a human face. Somewhere behind you, a chair scrapes back, and you realize with cold certainty that tonight someone in this room intends to leave a widow — and it will not be your mother.
