Pohlceni – McIntire Emily (2026)

Enzo Marino, the son of the most powerful American-Italian mafia boss, has had his life carefully planned since birth. When his brother dies tragically, Enzo is forced to take over his role, just as he has always been taught that his own wishes must give way to the interests of the family. After he nearly dies and is rescued by the daughter of the King of the Seas, the most powerful man in South Carolina, Enzo’s father seizes the opportunity to unite two powerful crime families through marriage. Enzo obeys his father as always, believing that family duty matters more than genuine attachment and that his father’s word is law—until he meets his fiancée’s cousin. Venesa Andersen is her uncle’s right hand. He took her in after her parents died, and although she carries out every task without hesitation in the hope of earning his love and approval, she is still haunted by the childhood feeling that she is not good enough. More than anything, she wants someone to finally notice her and see her as she truly is. Her wish soon comes true, but the man who sees her is already engaged—and is meant to marry her spoiled, hated cousin.
