Where will their hearts lead them in the battle between love and loyalty?

Meet Reed Moretti, the middle child and odd duck of the Moretti family. He's a bookworm and a professor, choosing a quiet life away from the family's mafia business.

Intelligent as he is, he's completely unaware of his power over women, including his new assistant, a sexy, smart, and confident woman who's crushing on him.

Reed is clueless about her feelings until she gets transferred and realizes he cares about her. A lot. When her safety is threatened, he steps up, showing he's got that fierce Moretti side in him.

Her protective parents find out about his mafia ties and demand that she break things off or be cut off from the family. They face a tough choice: follow their hearts or bow to family pressure.

Will love win out, or will they be forced apart?
