Kree Michaels is an independent woman who has never truly experienced love. But when she begins to fall for Vincent D'Amore, a commanding underboss of the Italian Mafia, she finds herself thrust into excitement...and danger. Jewel Raquet, Vincent's exotic on-again off-again girlfriend, is determined to push Kree away from Vincent at any cost. In order to be with Vincent, Kree will have to fight both Vincent's past and her own reservations. Boy-next-door Tom Fry offers Kree an alternative to the danger and drama of being with Vincent. With his quiet, gentle devotion to Kree, he seems as different from Vincent as it's possible to be. But will Tom's sweetness be enough to convince Kree to resist the allure of Vincent's burning desire?
