Violet Williams minds her business and expects everyone else to mind theirs. That’s how she’s survived as long as she has in the neighborhood she lives in. Just her luck the one time she doesn’t mind her business, she gets embroiled in a brewing war between the Sanna family who runs everything around her and the Morelli family who owns the south side of the city.

Luca Morelli hasn’t trusted anyone since his parent’s “untimely demise” and his brother’s “disappearance”. He certainly doesn’t trust this woman slotting herself into his little sister’s life like she belongs with them. Even if she makes his stone heart beat for the first time in years.
