Alessia Romano has spent her life in a poor, forgotten corner of the city, barely scraping by. Raised by her sickly grandmother, she works tirelessly in their struggling flower shop, her only escape the vibrant blooms she arranges and the stories she writes in a worn leather journal. Sheltered, broken and kind-hearted, Alessia has always been invisible to the dangerous world of the mafia, until the night she saves a man's life without knowing who he truly is.
Giovanni Moretti, the ruthless and enigmatic underboss of the Moretti family, is a man who commands loyalty and fear in equal measure. Wounded and hunted after an ambush, he stumbles into Alessia's flower shop, seeking refuge. Feeling her gentle touch, something stirs within him for the first time in years, a longing for a kind of life he never believed he could have. From that moment, he is consumed by the desire to protect her, even if it means dragging her into his dangerous world and sacrificing it all.
