And they’re coming… Ella is left fighting to keep them together in a world that’s falling apart. Givanni, the company CEO and nephew to President Ginetti, seemed the genuine good guy.

But her determination to uncover the truth only pulls her deeper into a world with a level of crime she didn't believe existed. And she’s quickly in over her head. But, suddenly bound for Italy pretending to be in a fake engagement is going to be hard. Everything quickly becomes tangled until her heart isn't certain what's real or fake. And even while pondering their relationship, it’s clear that Italy was less of an escape than they thought. Because facing a group as powerful as the Italian Mafia is impossible. Bruised and defeated, they’re faced with a future where they might not make it out alive, let alone together.
