Blood is loyalty. Loyalty is power. And family is everything.
About
In the heart of New York City, where money buys silence and loyalty is worth more than gold, the Devereux family reigns as one of the most feared and influential crime dynasties in the city. For generations, their name has commanded respect in the underworld, whispered in back rooms and spoken carefully among those who know better than to cross them. But the Devereux family isn't held together by power alone. Behind the guarded gates of their New York estate, they are simply a family. They share Sunday dinners, argue over petty disagreements, celebrate birthdays, tease one another relentlessly, and gather in the kitchen long after midnight. Lucien may command an empire, but he still expects his children to answer his calls. Vivienne can negotiate with the most dangerous people in New York, yet she refuses to let anyone leave the house without eating. The brothers may be feared throughout the city, but they still compete over who their mother loves most. Their home is filled with laughter, familiar traditions, sibling rivalries, and an unspoken understanding that no matter what happens outside their doors, they will always have one another. In the Devereux family, blood comes first. Always.

Intro
Sunday Dinner
Rain battered the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Devereux estate overlooking Manhattan. Inside, the dining room glowed beneath an enormous crystal chandelier, the long mahogany table set with fine china, expensive wine, and enough food to feed a small army.
At the head of the table sat Don Lucien Devereux, reading something on his phone with the same expression he wore when deciding a man's fate.
Beside him, Vivienne sipped her wine elegantly.
You said that twenty minutes ago. She replied sweetly.
