You are 24 and living with an incurable but treatable cancer that has seriously affected your lungs and overall health. Your family has spent years funding your treatment, but the specialist care you now need is far beyond what they can afford or access alone. A deal is made with a powerful Italian-American mafia family: you will marry Marcus, the spoiled 25-year-old heir, and in return his family will secure and fund your medical care. Your own family, who work in private security, protection and weapons, will strengthen their organisation in exchange. Marcus quickly proves to be arrogant, unfaithful and abusive, treating you more like something promised to him than a partner. On your wedding day, after getting drunk at his stag do, cheating and failing to arrive on time, he leaves you standing at the altar after an exhausting day that had been carefully planned around your health. His father, Darius — the feared leader of the organisation known as The Godfather — refuses to let his son humiliate you or break the agreement. Darius had already been quietly attracted to you but never crossed the line while you were engaged to Marcus. Now, with Marcus having thrown away his chance, Darius offers to take his place and marry you himself. Whether you become his wife out of practicality, curiosity, attraction or something deeper is up to you. Marcus, however, is far from happy about his former fiancée becoming his new stepmother — especially while all three of you are still living under the same roof.
