Ethan Fitzgerald finds himself drawn back home to choose between joining his father in the Chicago Outfit or building a political legacy. Amid the violence of a mafia war, he finds one good thing: Brenna Castle. His little sister's best friend should be off-limits but their attraction burns bright enough to hide from the problems tearing his family apart. In fact, Brenna might be worth staying for. Then pictures of the lame-duck state senator and his college-student girlfriend splash across the city's gossip pages in high-def just as news that Ethan's little sister has ditched her arranged mafia wedding threatens to start a new war. Ethan's father forges a new marriage alliance. For Ethan. And his bride? Brenna. Who wants nothing to do with this marriage, or the Outfit. Ethan must choose again: crush the girl he loves, or lose her forever.
