Summary

Empire of Her Making is a glitter-noir, mafia romance set in modern New York, following Apollonia “Nia” Vittorini – the Madonna and reigning head of one of the city’s most powerful crime syndicates. For ten years, Nia has carried the weight of inheritance without flinching. She knows which alliances to nurture, which enemies to starve, and how to keep her empire steady with nothing more than a look. Control is survival. Control is safety. Then Marco Cappello walks into her world. He is charming, perceptive, and far too comfortable in rooms built on secrets. With him, Nia feels something she has spent a decade denying herself: the dangerous pull of being seen, not as the Madonna, not as the heir – but as a woman. What she doesn’t know is that Marco is Giovanni Sigliano, the disgraced son of a rival dynasty, hiding from the brother who tried to kill him. As old rivalries stir and power begins to shift, Nia must decide how much of herself she can afford to give—when every vulnerability is leverage, and love may be the one risk she was never trained to take.

Author's Note


This is the first draft of Empire of Her Making.

The version you're reading on Inkitt is where the story begins—not where it ends. While chapters remain available here, the novel is undergoing substantial revisions behind the scenes. Characters deepen, scenes evolve, and the empire grows a little sharper with every edit.

When the revision process is complete, a fully polished ebook and paperback edition will be released.

Until then, thank you for joining Nia's journey and watching this story become what it was always meant to be.

Kimberly: It's nice to have a great book that you can simply melt into. There's a touch of drama but not so much that it's jarring.
