The King Above Manhattan

Above the glittering skyline of New York stands Gallagher Tower, a skyscraper owned entirely by billionaire Sebastian Gallagher—the powerful head of one of America’s most influential crime families. To the world, he is a respected businessman whose empire spans finance, real estate, shipping, and luxury hospitality. Behind closed doors, he commands a criminal organization built on loyalty, discipline, and absolute control. At thirty-eight, Sebastian has everything money can buy: unimaginable wealth, unquestioned authority, and a city that bends to his will. Yet his life is meticulously ordered and emotionally empty. His engagement to Erica Donovan is nothing more than a political alliance between two powerful families, and the luxurious penthouse they share feels more like a fortress than a home. Surrounded by fiercely loyal allies, watched over by his mother and sister, and ruling from the highest floors of Gallagher Tower, Sebastian has spent his entire life ensuring that nothing happens without his approval. Until one unexpected encounter threatens the control he’s spent a lifetime building. In a world of billionaires, mafia families, corporate power, secrets, betrayal, and dangerous romance, every choice has consequences—and falling in love may be the one risk even the King of Manhattan cannot survive.
