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.

Rosalie Lavigne was born into a world of power, violence, and expectation. As the sole heir to the French Mafia, she was raised not with dolls and fairy tales, but with discipline and survival skills-boxing, knife throwing, marksmanship. From an early age, she was trained to navigate the brutal reality of her family's legacy. But growing up in the shadows of the criminal underworld came at a cost. Loneliness became her closest companion, her only company the bodyguards assigned to her. She never had friends her own age, never experienced the carefree existence of an ordinary childhood. Every moment of her life was dictated by duty-training, studying, obeying. She was shaped not as a daughter, but as an asset to the family. Yet, buried beneath the weight of expectation, a desire for something more began to stir. Summoning the courage to defy her parents, Rosalie made her case: she wanted to attend Harvard University, just as her father had once done. After relentless persuasion and an exhausting lecture on the dangers of distractions-parties, recklessness, failure-they finally relented. It was her chance to escape, to build a life outside the world she had always known. Or so she thought. Just as she embraced the illusion of freedom, Rosalie discovered the truth-her parents had forged a pact with their greatest enemy, sealing a truce through an arranged marriage. What was meant to be her fresh start had already been decided for her. Now, she must confront the ultimate betrayal: would she ever forgive them for taking away her choice, or would this marriage become the unexpected salvation from the world she once called home?

The Coopers have it all: wealth, power, and a bond forged in loyalty. Haden Cooper, the cold and calculating head of their mafia empire, has built a dynasty that spans restaurants, casinos, hotels, and car dealerships. His wife, Joella, once the sweet and nurturing counterpart, has transformed. No longer the innocent woman she once was, Joella now commands respect as the Don's wife, her fierceness cutting through any pretense. She is as deadly as she is loving-fiercely protective of her family and unafraid to show the world the strength that lies beneath her warm exterior. Together, Haden and Joella have raised eight extraordinary children, each brilliant in their own way, each a vital piece of the Cooper legacy. But beneath the surface of their seemingly unshakable empire, danger lurks. A devastating betrayal from within shatters their world, threatening to rip the family apart and destabilize everything they've built. Lies and deception weave a web of chaos, leaving the Coopers questioning not just their allies but also one another. As tensions rise and old wounds resurface, the Coopers are forced to confront the cost of their power. Trust is a rare commodity, and loyalty comes at a price. With enemies circling and the family on the brink of collapse, Haden and Joella must rally their children to uncover the truth and strike back-before the betrayal consumes them all. In a world where love and vengeance walk hand in hand, will the Coopers prove unbreakable, or will this be the moment their empire falls?
