The mafia can be the closest family you ever had, if you embrace it.
It can also be the shadow that follows you for a lifetime, if you attempt to exit it.
Elena Moretti learnt it the hard way the very day she quit Los Caballos, the reputed Spanish mafia clan headed by aging Angelo Ruiz. She assumed the life of crime was behind her as she returned to her three-year-old daughter and caring husband, consciously shedding her mafia roots.
Fourteen years later, Elena Moretti crosses paths with the Los Caballos clan once again, only this time to face the older Ruiz's grandson, Adriano, a young man now at the helm of his grandfather's legacy.
When Moretti, the woman who was almost a Godmother to him, steals an item coveted by the mafia, Adriano is less than pleased. With Elena absconding and a disgruntled Don, the Caballos turn to the one thing that can get Elena's attention -
Her daughter, Ciara.
A story of danger, compromise, secrets, and sacrifices. All coming down to the dark horse who could become the white knight.
Alessandra Morino has spent her whole life as an assassin, always being a shadow in the dark. Luciano Moretti is a name that is feared all over America and Italy, the whole world in fact. He is the Don of the Italian Mafia. Both are people you do not want to cross. When Alessandra and Luciano team up to bring down a common enemy, sparks fly and not necessarily the good kind too.
She battles demons that threaten to swallow her whole.
He is the devil incarnate, searching for his angel.
This is the story of two people who are so different yet so similar, who intrigue each other as much as they intimidate each other.
'A King is nothing without his Queen. You are far more than my Queen, tesoro.'
