The Harbor Where Vows Died

Isabella Moretti returns to Palermo three years after vanishing, only to find her own memorial mass underway. Her husband, Matteo De Luca, sits in the front row beside his lover, Bianca Vitale, and their twins, Luca and Alex De Luca. When he sees her, he calls her Miss Moretti and offers her a guest room in the east wing rather than a place at his side.

She has not come back to reclaim her marriage. She has come for her parents' belongings and for the distress package someone intercepted three years ago. A dock pass dated the night before the mass, a torn payment ledger, and a lead pointing to Bianca's assistant suggest someone has been quietly erasing her traces. Then the Council of the Five Families gives her fourteen days to sign away the Moretti harbor or lose her seat.

With a boat promised from Marseille and a black notebook of evidence, Isabella must decide how far she will go to learn who erased her while she was still alive.
