After years of hard work, Lupin finally managed to make a place for herself in the city she now called home. As far as anyone knew, she was just a shy, timid, girl working as the personal assistant of one of the biggest news operations in the city, but, in reality, Lupin is none other than the anonymous reporter "Hestia" whose mission is to expose corruption and greed in the city.
Over the years, she'd mastered the art of being invisible, and now, thanks to Hestia, she was finally putting her talents to good use.
But everything changes when someone wants her dead and she's rescued by none other than Damon Stallone, the head of the city's most notorious mafia.
Luckily, Damon has a problem that Lupin could help with. Damon has a mole in his organization and needs to find it before it destroys him and everything he and his family built over the generations. In exchange, Damon offers to help Lupin find out who is trying to kill her, but in order to get the access she needs, Lupin will have to be Damon's fake fiancee. Simple enough, right? Not when you spend your life being invisible, hiding in the shadows, and doing anything you can to avoid being noticed.
21-year-old Celena Smith doesn't fear anything anymore. From being adopted by the American mafia after narrowly escaping death to surviving the torment that same family continuously brings to her. Although one thing manages to shake her up... on the night of her 21st birthday, she finds out she's been arranged to marry the oldest male heir of the Italian mafia.
22 year old Alessio Rossi is the head of the Italian mafia and doesn't have any time for any bullshit. He's power hungry and will do anything to make sure his family legacy continues to stay strong. So, of course, when the offer comes to marry the only daughter of the American mafia, the third most powerful in the world, he doesn't hesitate, no matter the circumstances. Even when Alessio and his brothers aren't fans of outsiders to their family at all.
Despite all this, there remains one huge problem... what happens if the mafia world finds out she's adopted, not only them, but Alessio and his brothers also? Is the whole alliance truly a scam? Will walls begin to break and connections form? Will the animosity from both powerful families break Celena? Or will one or two more big secrets shake up everything they all know?
