About this audiobook
What do you do when the man who murdered your parents becomes the only father you've ever known?
Seraphina Costello was six years old when they came for her family. Three gunshots. One living room. A closet full of wool coats and a Smith & Wesson she barely knew how to hold. She bit her captor, fired a wild shot, and earned herself a one-way ticket to the Hamptons estate of Lucian Ambrose—the King of New York.
For eighteen years, she's worn the mask of the grateful ward. The obedient soldier. The good little hostage.
But masks are made to be removed.
Now, at twenty-four, Seraphina stands at the altar of her own arranged marriage, her heart a locked vault of vengeance and her wedding night a weapon she intends to wield. The groom is meant to be her leash. Instead, he may become her blade. Because the only thing more dangerous than a woman scorned is a woman who has memorized every weakness of the empire that caged her.
• A six-year-old with a gun and a promise she never forgot
• A crime lord who raised his enemy's daughter as his own insurance policy
• A marriage of convenience that burns hotter than any alliance
• A revenge eighteen years in the making—and a wedding night that changes everything
• Brooklyn blood, Hamptons secrets, and the cost of a crown no one asked for
Read The Licorice Noose today. Some vows are spoken at the altar. Others are written in blood.
