This Romeo and Juliet story throbs with passion and mystery from the opening chapter to the very end! Sophie Gracewell is on her way home from her job at the family diner when she runs into (literally) Nic Falcone, dark, Hollywood handsome and oh so troubled. He and his brothers have just moved into the neighbourhood’s spooky old house and it’s clear from the beginning that they’re hiding something.
But then Sophie’s cupboards too have enough skeletons to form a small rattling army. As Sophie falls in love with Nic, the dark secret that links their families emerges. Love, romance, mystery and adventure are present in equal measure, all conveyed in a series of vivid tableaux, that conclude with an edge of your seat thrilling final scene.
Sophie Gracewell's only plans for the summer involve working at her family's diner, hanging out with her best friend Millie, and generally keeping a low profile after the drama of her father's arrest last year. But when five mysterious Italian brothers suddenly move into town, her life changes forever.

Irresistibly drawn to bad boy Nic, Sophie finds herself falling into a dangerous criminal underworld governed by powerful families. When her own dark family secrets come to light, she must pick a side - the family she was born into, or the boy she is falling in love with. When she does, blood will spill and hearts will break…
