Indy Parker Bello has lived an incredibly dry life. The only interesting action she experiences is through books, Netflix, and living vicariously through her four best friends. However, as a recent college graduate who just miraculously got a job as a detective for the local Italian Mafia crime unit, she has to fight to show that she belongs in this world dominated by men and women far more outgoing and experienced than her. To do this, she chooses to go undercover and take them out from the inside.
Luca Antonio Moreno has been the Chicago Mafia boss for 4 years now. As the youngest boss in his family's history, his pride tells him that he has something to prove, regardless of the fact that he doesn't even want the job. When he meets Indy, he believes she wants to help the organization and feels she's a perfect candidate for the job: baiting potential buyers.
When their paths cross, will they recognize their similarities, or will they let their obvious differences decide their fates?
AUTHOR'S NOTE: this description is SUPER subject to change lol I barely even know what it's gonna be about, but stay tuned lovelies :)

You are not my boss, nor the owner of this company. I am simply helping my client, who has already paid for my help." His jaw tightened, his body looked as if it would pounce at any second. Yet, he refrained. He walked towards the large floor to ceiling window in my office and peered down the 29 floors to look at the bottom of NYC. "I think it's fair to say that you have quite a mouth on you." He noted, turning his frame back to me. "And I think it's fair to say that you are a; misogynistic, egotistical, irresponsible adult!" I argued back. He inclined his head in my direction. "Is that so?" ------------------ "I will never marry you Ace! Your a sick, vile, evil human being!"
