HOA Emperor: Power. Control. Corruption. Florida Style.
When a former crime underboss enters Florida's HOA world, paradise will never look the same again.
After turning state's evidence, Max Vecchio is reborn as John Masters, a retired businessman tucked into a sleepy South Florida community. But the U.S. Marshals who relocated him didn't count on one thing-Masters sees HOA boards the same way he once saw crime families: soft targets with cash reserves and no protection.
With help from the ambitious property manager Veronica Santiago, Masters builds a hidden empire across dozens of aging condo associations-siphoning millions through shell contractors, community revitalization projects, and a ruthless new revenue stream: pickleball.
Soon, his HOA syndicate runs smoother than the mob ever did. The lawns are perfect, dues are paid on time, and dissenters disappear quietly. But when suspicious residents, old enemies, and a relentless federal marshal start closing in, Masters must fight to keep the empire-and Veronica-from collapsing in the Florida heat.
Blending crime thriller, dark comedy, and social satire, HOA Emperor exposes the absurdity and greed lurking beneath the manicured lawns of gated paradise.
A former mob underboss in witness protection builds a Florida HOA empire with his cunning partner Veronica Santiago-until greed, love, and betrayal ignite a suburban war.
