The Prince of New York - Frank Pasquine

"If you're looking for your next obsession that feels like 'Succession' met a gritty YA 'Love Story' in a dark alley in Manhattan, then you absolutely need to pick up 'The Prince of New York' by Frank Pasquine." - BookishBeam

"Frank Pasquine has written the kind of debut that doesn't feel like a debut. The pacing is razor-sharp, the romance earns every beat, and the mystery unravels with just enough restraint to keep you guessing until the very end. This isn't just a YA thriller-it's a love letter to New York, wrapped in a family saga, with a conscience." - Bookishjourney

As the heir to one of the most powerful families in New York City, David Whitmore's life has always been carefully controlled-elite schools, private drivers, and a future mapped out long before he could question it. From the outside, it looks like the perfect life.

But David has begun experiencing something he can't explain. Visions. Fragments of other people's lives. Moments of fear. Moments of death. And each vision seems to be pulling him toward a truth his family has spent years burying.

When a near-fatal encounter in a Bronx subway station brings him face to face with Ofelia Ortiz-a fierce young woman whose father was imprisoned for a crime he insists he didn't commit-David's world begins to unravel.

Caught between two worlds-Manhattan privilege and Bronx resilience-David must decide who he really is: The nepo pretty boy to a powerful empire...or the one man strong enough to tear it down.

But in a city built on ambition, money, and secrets, exposing the truth could cost him everything. And some empires will burn the world before they fall.
