Three Mafia empires rule the city-each deadly in their own right.
Two fight for order in the shadows, cleaning the streets of scum the law can't touch.
The third is chaos itself-dealing drugs, trafficking women, and leaving a trail of blood behind.
When a brutal ambush nearly wipes out the two righteous syndicates, a desperate alliance is born. To seal the truce, Don Moretti offers his daughter, Rose, in marriage to the infamous Jaxon DeLuca, the cold, calculated leader of the rival family.
Rose agrees-out of duty, not desire-knowing their survival may depend on it. But as lines blur between loyalty and love, trust and betrayal, their fragile union becomes the spark that could ignite a full-scale war.
Three enemies. Two allies. One dangerous marriage.
If the alliance fails, everyone burns.
