In the heart of Chicago, two worlds collide in an unexpected and transformative romance.

"Poems and Promises" is a tale of passion, pain, and the profound journey of discovering love where it is least expected.

Miranda is a college student with a passion for helping others, especially children, as she aspires to become a play therapist. With a heavy heart full of poetry and music, she navigates the complexities of family drama, social anxiety, and insecurities about her own worth. She finds solace in her art and her ability to dream of a love that feels true and deep.

Nico, an Italian man with ties to the mafia, carries his weight of emotional baggage. His life is dangerous and shadowed, yet his protective nature and tough demeanor mask his struggle to understand his feelings. Nico has a reputation for fearlessness and a tendency to guard his heart.

When Miranda and Nico's paths cross, they find themselves drawn to each other despite their differences. Miranda's vulnerability and Nico's fierce strength become intertwined as they navigate their own insecurities and challenges. As they journey through heartache, poetry, and dangerous connections, their unexpected love story challenges them both to face their fears and embrace their true selves.

But love isn't easy when two worlds clash. Will their love be enough to overcome the obstacles that threaten to tear them apart? Or will the shadows of their pasts prove too much for their fragile hearts.
