Secret Until the Grave

To the world, the Romano's are the perfect mafia family. A powerful husband, a loving wife, a protective son, and responsible daughter. They light up any room they walk into with their coordinated outfits, before the king gives his queen a kiss as he takes his seat and whispers to his kids, telling them to behave and have fun. Everyone looks up to the family wishing they could have the same love. The truth, however, is that the Romano's are broken inside. An unfaithful husband, a broken wife, a violent son, and drug addict daughter. No one knows the truth about the Romanos and no one ever will. What happens when a 28 year old journalist accidentally stumbles into their lives, threatening to expose their hidden secrets?

Isabella Lopez is the only daughter of two loving surgeons. She was always taught that life is beyond a single human and that one must always try to make a difference in the world. That's why she went into journalism: to expose the truth and advocate for people. On her trip to New York, she never imagined that she would meet the mafia king and fall in love.
