Bad Bishop - A Game of Blood and Checkmate #968104

They thought she was a pawn. They didn’t realize she was playing a completely different game.
Lila Ferrante was sold to pay for her father’s sins. Transferred like property to the Callaghan family—the ruthless Irish syndicate ruling Boston’s underworld—she is meant to be nothing more than a quiet, decorative political asset. But Lila is carrying a deadly secret, the devastating consequence of a single night that the Italian Camorra will do anything to bury.
Surviving means staying invisible. But Lila isn't built for the margins. Armed with a photographic memory and a strategist’s mind, she begins mapping her golden cage, preparing for the day the men who broke her come to finish the job.
Tiernan Callaghan expected a docile, terrified girl. Instead, he gets a woman who looks at his empire and sees a chessboard. Cold, calculating, and relentlessly disciplined, Tiernan doesn’t do warmth, and he certainly doesn’t do weakness. He is a man who governs by absolute control. Yet, as he watches Lila dismantle the power dynamics of his household with quiet, razor-sharp precision, his iron-clad detachment begins to crack.
When the Camorra accelerates their timeline and a kill order is issued, Tiernan is forced to make a choice. Protecting Lila means shattering a lucrative alliance and igniting an all-out mob war against his own father's wishes. For a man who runs on logic, it is bad business.
But letting anyone touch the woman who has quietly brought his world to its knees? That is a line Tiernan will cross with a gun in his hand.
