At just twenty-four years old, Amity never imagined she'd find herself living on her own with her family and friends hours away. But in the Mafia world nothing is predicable and nothing stays the same for long, so you have to learn to adapt quickly, dust yourself off and keep moving no matter what comes your way. With so many secrets to hide and lies to keep up with, it would be easier to keep her head down and wait for this all to be over so she can return home, and that's exactly what would have happened if it wasn't for the emerald green eyes of Chet Raven. Twenty-six years old and with a million of his own secrets to hide, Chet is set to become Amity's first meaningful relationship in town, opening her up to the idea of how good things can be when you allow yourself to be vulnerable, and make new friendships. But not all is as it seems, and secrets always have a way of coming out. Lines are crossed, rules broken, rivals come face to face and families are left in chaos. Strap yourself in for a emotional roller coaster ride of ups and downs, trials and growth and love and heartbreak.
