Juliette is a 21 year-old young woman, who works as a Travel Sales Assistant for Hybrid Travels, a travel agency based in Syracuse. She is beautiful, kind and loyal to the ones she loves.
Lorenzo, 25 year-old, is the son of Antonio, leader of the Pantera Nera, one of the most influential and successful Sicilian mafias. He has felt lost and lonely for as long as he can remember, partying and drinking his way through his problems.
In olden mafia traditions, the power and success of the leader can be reflected through his actions, circle of friends, but most importantly : through marriage.
As Antonio never remarried, and wants to give the lead to his only son, it is vital for him to find a lover and to get married. But unfortunately, Enzo has never really taken dating seriously and all his relationships led to nothing.
His father therefore takes matters into his own hands and asks Luciano, Enzo's oldest friend, to find him a suitable woman who can make him happy.
Juliette and Enzo were never meant for each other : they are completely different, come from different worlds, with different languages.
But who knew that arranged marriages can provide happy endings, after all ?

But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat.
