To the whole world, they look like the American royal family: they give money to charity, feed the homeless, and rebuild the city. But behind closed doors, there is a constant struggle for dominance between two Bosses, cultures and hearts. Their crime story begins in Chicago and follows the life and marriage of Melody Nikki Giovanni and Liam Callahan - rivals in blood and leaders in intimidation. Their marriage was arranged by their fathers in hopes of ending years of bloodshed between the Irish and the Italians. Liam, next in line to become leader of the Irish, believes he will get a simple-minded wife whom he can control, who will obey his every demand... the exact opposite of Melody . Melody was raised to be The Boss, a world-class marksman, a master of disguise that knows no mercy or fear. Twenty-four years later, she has achieved more than any man could dream of, killing anyone who stands in her way. She knows full well what kind of person Liam is and would rather die than give up the power she spent her entire life building. But with no family left, she must learn to work not only with Liam, but with the entire Callahan clan. The Mafia is evolving, and as they are hunted by rival Families, Melody and Liam will have to figure out how to work as one to take down those who stand in their way, and at the same time maintain their image. Power, family and respect are everything for them.
