Rosalie Castell waded through life determined to keep herself, and the business she inherited, afloat by whatever means necessary. But being a businesswoman in 1924 is no easy feat. With the waters becoming more treacherous the deeper she goes, and shady characters taking a nefarious interest in the business she owns, she is forced to make choices that could have dire consequences.

As she grows increasingly more entangled in this dangerous world, a new intake from Atlantic City - a twice wounded war vet with mysterious past and a haunted look in his eye - threatens to shatter the illusion of complacency she built up for herself, exposing the loneliness that had been festering beneath.

Survival in this world comes with a price - a price that she isn't willing to pay.

They say first impressions are everything . . . In the murky waters of New York's underworld, Caterina's sister is arranged to marry Jennifer Melgren . A Made Woman, a boss, a cheat-even measured against mafia standards. Her reputation stretches far and wide . After her and Caterina's first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes she's just as rude as she is gorgeous.She doesn't like the woman or anything she stands for, though that doesn't stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when she's near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of her voice. And she's always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future sister-in-law should. Caterina may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she's beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another. Besides, even if she were hers, everyone knows you don't fall in love with a Made woman . . . right?
