Devotion to family can't always overrule the heart.
Carmen has been pining after her next-door neighbor and brother's best friend, Leo, for nearly her whole life. When she accidentally sends him a scandalous selfie, she is convinced she's ruined everything. But when Leo comes back to town after being discharged from the military, he shows her that he's felt the same way about her for years. Despite how close their families are, there's no denying that they're meant for each other.
But of course, there's no happily ever after for two children of the Mafia. When Salvatore, Leo's father and the Capo in Kansas City, decides to use his second-in-command's daughter as a pawn to build an alliance with the Irish mob, Carmen is stolen away to be married to an Irish Mob prince.
But Leo is determined to get her back-no matter the cost to the Mafia or their families.
