As a newly Made Capo in the Pivetti Crime Family, all eyes are on James "Mac" Maccari, and not for a particularly good reason. The way to his new position in the family was paved with blood, and that left some all too suspicious of where-or who-he might be going after next. Mac isn't interested in playing to the politics of other Made men or Cosa Nostra. His only goal is to keep his promise and be waiting for his gun moll when she's finally released from prison. Until all hell breaks loose ... again.Fresh off her six month sentence, Melina Morgan is all too ready to get back to life, and Mac. The mafia life has been one learning curve after another, but with Mac at her side, there's nothing that they can throw at her that she can't handle. Even with a ring on her finger, and a new last name to go with it, Melina won't be domesticated. But with a man like Mac, he wasn't exactly looking for that kind of a woman, anyway. Sometimes, wedding bells bring bloodstains ...When directed attacks start to happen, taking the lives of some of the highest Made men in the Pivetti family, distrust and unrest begins to breed throughout the ranks. Someone is making a move on the boss's seat, and it seems far too easy to put the blame at Mac's feet when every single attack is somehow connected to him. All over again, Mac and Melina find they're fighting an uphill battle to keep each other safe and survive. But this time, they might not be fighting alone ...
In this life, nothing comes easy.James "Mac" Maccari is proof of that. Having fought his way through the ranks of the Pivetti Crime Family, Mac is willing to do whatever it takes to maintain that position. His wife and son are his everything. But sometimes when a man thinks he has it all, life throws a curveball. When it comes to Cosa Nostra, some curveballs are deadly. Melina Morgan Maccari never imagined having the life she does now. A powerful husband. A child she loves more than her own life. Newly secure in her position as a made man's wife, Melina is finally starting to believe a happily ever after might exist. That is, until she's reminded that there is danger where you least expect it.Some bosses are made, not born.When the powerful Pivetti crime boss is targeted by law enforcement, his seat is up for grabs, and there is more than one man who thinks he is right for the job. But one man in power could spell disaster for Mac and Melina. Mac is left with no choice but to make one last attempt to secure the future for both his families or watch everything he loves go up in flames. Come Hell or high water, when Melina vowed to be Mac's moll, it was for life. With an organization in chaos, and threats facing her family, she is ready to do anything necessary to stamp out the danger once and for all. Sometimes, bloodshed requires a woman's touch.
