Ever since that fateful night 17-almost 18 years ago-the Locke's and the Reynold's have been families stuck to the hip. Evangeline Locke and Pierce Luciano were born on the same day 2 and a half minutes apart, one hospital room over. Each child was born on New Years Day, by different parents who met through bad news. The growth these two children go through changed them. Their relationship got stronger with time... then... it didn't. The once happy friends who used to protect each other, love each other, and help each other were now estranged in the most painful way possible. Nonetheless they're connected by high society and obligations pushed onto them by both of their families. Soon, though, the betrayal, hurt, and unforeseen circumstances no longer push them further away, but connect them. Forcing them to learn just how alike they are, aside from their shared birthday. *** Pierce Luciano is a feared competitor in the boxing ring, has an opportunity presented to him to become the don of the Italian-American mafia.

He has to have the mafia. He has to have it all, but what will it cost him. *** Evangeline Locke is a poised young lady, locked in by her father who knows no boundaries on safety and protection, believing Evangeline belongs locked up for how special she is.
