He wants her, and he always gets what he wants.

Cora

I’ve done everything in my power to cut ties with my mafia family: moving out of Boston to Chicago, changing my name, making my own money.

Now, they’re pulling me back in with a request I can’t refuse: my brother double-crossed the Chicago O’Sullivans, and the only way to keep him safe is to give them what they want: a mafia bride. I’ll do anything to protect my brother, but I never agreed to do it quietly.
