Liliana Scuderi was in love with Romero from the moment she first saw him. After her sisters are married off for tactical reasons, she hopes to be allowed to choose her own husband, but when her father promises her to a man twice her age, that hope is dashed. No amount of pleading will change his mind. Romero always ignored Lily's flirtations. Her age and status made her inaccessible, but even a dutiful person like him could only control himself. Wanting her when she should be marrying someone else could mean war between New York and Chicago, and Romero has always put Cosa Nostra first. Lily suspects that her sisters and Romero would risk everything for her, but is it worth it? is her happiness so much? Is love worth the war between Cosa Nostra and the gang?
