The Clyden’s ranch. Where horses are bred, whiskey is homemade, and a piece of Italian inheritance is thrown into the mix in the form of great food and wiseguys.

Shepherd - An arranged marriage for the sake of an undercover case to take down a mafia boss quickly becomes very real when the woman in question is an enigma tugging at my heartstrings. I might consider her my wife, but she’s still the enemy.

Lucina - Growing up as a mafia princess I’ve always known I wouldn’t have a choice when it comes to my future husband. Surprise hits when the man I have to marry is a stark contradiction in the classic, dressed in a suit, mafia underboss. He throws me into a dangerous tailspin where my heart unwillingly takes a plunge.
