Happy ever afters rarely last forever. 

Nico Desantis and Chiara Russo defied all odds to find love in the heart of Chicago's criminal underworld. Now they're married, and fate seems to be smiling down on them. 

But their happy union is the flame that threatens to ignite a war. 

A deadly game of cat and mouse commences once they land back home, Chiara becoming the target of an obsessed stalker. Nico's empire is hanging by a thread, his life long work and family legacy are on shaky ground as old friends turned enemies come out of the woodwork to take it all away from him. 

The clock is ticking, and danger lurks in every corner. Their devotion to each other is tested as the web of deceit around them thickens, threatening to swallow them whole. 

They must find the stalker before he keeps his deadly promises, and save whatever is left of their business, or else they risk losing everything, including each other.

Will they be able to save one another like they did last time? Or will the pressure create a divide in their relationship? 

Are these events truly unrelated as they have been thinking? Or is their enemy one disguised as many?
