Angel Martin plans to marry Tony and live happily ever after, until Tony disappears. Nursing a broken heart, she takes a job at Tetterbaum's Pub, unaware it is the most prestigious Mafia hangout in Chicago. She finds herself suddenly caught in the middle of a revengeful scheme from a past she's never known and a blackmail scandal that has left several dead; and she's next on the hit list. Racing to find answers, Angel's life is left hanging in a twisted balance of deception and revenge, and the only way out is to expose the truth... TETTERBAUM'S TRUTH

With Tetterbaum’s truth revealed and her identity exposed, Angel tries to adjust to her new role as head of the Maratinzano Crime Family, soon realizing that Mafia life offers little down time. The sudden kidnapping of her mother leads Angel down a path to a past she’s never known and toward an adversary she cannot identify. When an FBI bust against her family is fueled by someone on the inside, Angel turns to the other Chicago Bosses for answers; but every lead ends up cold and stiff. Racing to save the people she loves most, Angel must learn to trust her instincts, even when she comes face-to-face with the scariest truth yet…there are TRAITORS AMONG US.

Angel knows the brutal attack on Tetterbaum’s Pub didn’t come from one of the Chicago Five, but convincing Giovanni is another story. When he orders a hit on her most trusted men, she must walk a fine line between compassion and rage to flush out the infiltrators before it’s too late. In a world where traitors are friends and friends become enemies, Angel’s only hope of stopping the Russian uprising is to turn against her own blood.
