I'm a miserable s.o.b, everyone tells me so. I have a tendency to shoot first and ask questions later. As the head of a mafia family I'm not considered a good man. Nobody is wrong about me, I'm lethal with little regard for human life. When a rival family takes my little sister and traffics her, I lose what's left of my mind. I will find her and the Aiello's will pay dearly… All of them, men, women and even their children. Nobody is safe. They say revenge is a dish best served cold but I think revenge is best served bathed in blood.

The De Luca's and the Lombardi's don't have a good history. There's enough bad blood to go around. I need their help to save my sister. After they refuse there's only one option. Forcing Dalia, the younger sister of the De Luca brothers, to marry me to change their minds won't be easy.

Her choice is simple.

Marry me or her brothers will pay the price.

The people in our world talk about what they call The Dalia Effect. The way she pulls you in and puts you under some sort of spell. The more you know her the more you dont want to lose her. I was sure I was safe from such things. I feel nothing for no one. Then everything changes.

Her brothers know the secret that threatens to destroy me. If they tell her the truth about me and what I've done she will never forgive me. This secret will cut too deep. There can be no forgiveness when actions are simply unforgivable.
