Mafia Princess Returns

Francesca Adolfi was fourteen the day she was taken from the people who raised her and delivered to her birth father, the head of the Adolfi family. The years that followed were years of torment and abuse at the hands of the relatives who were supposed to claim her, and she made a long series of choices that cost her everything. Then she opens her eyes on that same day again, fourteen years old, standing in the same house, with every one of those years still in her head. She knows now which of the Adolfis will smile at her and which will hurt her, and she knows what the family did to Enzo, the eldest son, who was cast out and stripped of his position as heir. So she goes to him first. The alliance she offers him is practical: she has information about what is coming and he has a claim on the family that the others spent years burying, and between them they can take the succession back. Working to put Enzo where he belongs also puts Francesca inside the household's decisions rather than at the bottom of them, and the people who broke her the first time find her arriving early to every move they make.
