The Bluebird’s Last Spin: The Legacy of the DeLuca Empire    In the grand ballroom of the DeLuca estate, four-year-old Lily Bennett executed the "bluebird turn"—a dance invented by Claire Arden, the long-lost love of mafia don Julian DeLuca. When Cassandra Vale collapsed from poison meant for Julian, a four-year-old mystery violently unraveled. From hidden journals beneath the floorboards to corporate coups, lethal betrayal by trusted guardians, and a high-stakes battle for survival, Julian must tear down his dark empire to save the child who bears his blood and the woman who kept her alive.
When I walked back into my house that rainy Tuesday morning, my eight-month-old daughter was screaming while my husband sat twelve feet away and did nothing. Ivy stood inside her playpen with both hands wrapped around the mesh, tears covering her face, one sock missing, her little body shaking so hard she could barely breathe. Julian was in the kitchen drinking coffee and looking at his laptop. He was not on a call. He was not asleep. He was not unaware. He had heard our baby crying and decided she could wait.
