Fia Alesci's carefully ordered life is shattered when her estranged father, Rafael, abruptly removes her from her boarding school in Oxford and takes her to New York. Thrust into the powerful and dangerous world of the Corleone family, she finds herself living under the protection of her godfather, a man she has never met before - Vito Corleone.
Amid whispered deals, family loyalties, and growing violence, Fia meets Michael Corleone, the Don's youngest son, a decorated war hero determined to remain separate from his family's criminal empire. Quiet, intelligent, and dangerously compelling, Michael awakens desires and emotions Fia has spent years burying beneath caution and self-control.
Their attraction is immediate. Their connection undeniable.
But as war erupts around the Corleone family, Michael is drawn deeper into a world he once swore to avoid. Forced into exile in Sicily after a deadly act of vengeance, he and Fia build a passionate and fragile life together far from America's violence, only to discover that the reach of their enemies extends far beyond New York.
As Michael steps ever closer to becoming his father's heir, Fia must decide whether love is enough to survive the darkness gathering around them both.
Because loving Michael Corleone may ultimately mean watching him become the very thing he once feared.
Fanfiction inspired by the novel, The Godfather by Mario Puzo, and the film of the same name.
