Pride Goeth Before the Fall...

Vito Falcone has just come into his power. Taking over as head of the first-ranked family within the most powerful crime syndicate on the east coast, he is ready to make his mark. The world is at his fingertips, and with his family's name on the line, Vito is determined to uphold the values and traditions that have set them apart for years.

But on the most important day of his life, Vito's perfect world is invaded by the young Gabriel Romano; the Omega son of the lowest ranked family. Gabriel is everything Vito's been taught to abhor; ill-bred, ill-mannered, and disgustingly naive. And yet... Vito find himself thinking about the boy more and more each day...

Fates collide in this unlikely love story, and Vito learns the one lesson his father never taught him: Love cares nothing for pride.
