Shadowed Bonds

A well known underground hacker has come back to the public eye as part of the well respected Callahan family. However, she's not afraid to get herself into a little bit of trouble, even if that trouble involves the Mafia. Bold and willing to do anything to take over her father's business she gets a little more entangled in the shadows than she initially expected.
Matteo is well known in his world. His entire family is; the Valentin-Mantovani's, head of the Italian Mafia. They are ruthless and powerful... and their father is looking for the next heir. With four boys close in age he's looking to appoint the best suited for the shadowed world they live in. Matteo doesn't want it. None of the brothers do, but they are forced to prove themselves otherwise someone outside of the family will be chosen.
At the most inconvenient time, Matteo now has a resurfaced Calandra Callahan to be watchful of. She's not to be trusted, but neither is he.
They both have priorities and cannot afford to be distracted.
However, what lives and dies in the shadows also grows... even if it is costly.

"Miss Callahan, why do you believe I attended your family's gathering when I could be doing something of importance?"
"Are you flirting with me?"
"You'd like it if that were the case, wouldn't you?"
