Adrian Tomine

SHADOWS BENEATH THE CROWN

Evelyn Chase has never been the type to back down. Cold, calculating, and unapologetically ruthless, she’s earned her place at the helm of Chase Enterprises after her father’s brutal murder. But her ascension to power isn’t without its challenges. Enemies circle like vultures, secrets lurk in the shadows, and whispers of her father’s involvement in a dark underworld refuse to fade. In a world where trust is a luxury, Evelyn is determined to uncover the truth—no matter the cost. Enter Adrian Black, the charming and seemingly unassuming new assistant at Chase Enterprises. Beneath his polished exterior lies a dangerous secret: Adrian is the leader of the country’s most feared mafia syndicate. For years, he’s been fueled by a single purpose—to avenge his parents’ mysterious deaths, which he believes were orchestrated by Evelyn’s father. Posing as her secretary is the perfect way to uncover the truth and bring down the Chase empire from the inside. But Adrian quickly realizes that Evelyn is not the cold-hearted villain he expected. Behind her steely gaze is a woman carrying the weight of grief, betrayal, and an empire that teeters on the edge of collapse. As he chips away at her icy defenses, Adrian finds himself drawn to her strength, vulnerability, and the fierce determination that mirrors his own. In a world where love is dangerous, betrayal is inevitable, and loyalty can cost you everything, Evelyn and Adrian must decide if they’re willing to sacrifice their vendettas—and their hearts—for the chance to take down a common enemy. "Shadows Beneath the Crown" is a gripping tale of passion and peril, where love and revenge collide in a game of power, deceit, and redemption. Can two broken souls find solace in each other, or will the secrets they uncover destroy them both?
