Following Don Leo's death in the streets, Nico D'Ambrosio finds himself the new young Don of the D'Ambrosio Family.
But all is not well.
Caporegimes loyal to the old Don aren't so enthusiastic about the turn of events. Don Leo's death and the settled peace with Slava Romanov has created questions of just where their new young Don's real loyalties lay.
There's also the matter of a future for the Family.
To placate his restive caporegimes, Nico must find a wife. There is, of course, an appropriate option: Apollonia Diamandis, the daughter of a notorious Greek Mafia boss, would certainly bring both the money and the guns that Nico needs to force his caporegimes to kneel.
But Nico has never been a man who wanted what was appropriate, and the last person he wants to marry is Apollonia Diamandis.
As the new Don, Nico know that he has every right to choose his own wife.
With every day of his own engagement creeping closer and closer, his thoughts can't stop turning towards a fiery pharmacy tech with green eyes that he can't stop thinking about.
Born outside of the Mafia life, Lydia Palomino is an inappropriate option for a Don's wife.
A marriage with her will certainly be the convenient excuse Nico needs to get out of his current arrangement.
But Lydia is anything but convenient, and marrying her will bring neither alliance nor money nor power.
To say nothing about the burden she carries on her shoulders, and the secret she hides in her heart.
A secret, that once discovered, could cost Nico everything:
His position, his life, and his chance to finally have what his heart truly wants.
