The Simplicity of Happiness

Genevieve Luciano was the girl next door with the aspirations of becoming an established lawyer. The only problem was that her father was an Italian-American Mob boss. Her whole future had been mapped out by her tyrant of a father, and Eve's future looked desolate. That is, until Evelyn's mother finally had enough. With new names and identities, their family fled New York and moved to Washington. It's there that Eve met Derek Spencer. A rich playboy who, like her, has a past a lot darker than anyone knows.

"My heart is set, as firmly as ever heart of man was set on woman. I have no thought, no view, no hope, in life beyond her; and if you oppose me in this great stake, you take my peace and happiness in your hands, and cast them to the wind."

-Charles Dickens, Oliver Twist
