But what I want doesn't matter now that I'm caught in a tug of war between two men in the dangerous world of organized crime. Marcello Masciantonio is the man my father expects me to marry. He wants me because I'm the daughter of Dominick Trassato, New York's most powerful crime boss. He says he's my future, and I want to hate him, but I can't deny the spark that burns between us.
