Secret Behind the Armor

What happens when the princess is done being sheltered?

Julietta has always been known as the sheltered Princess of the Italian Mafia. She has been surrounded by armed mafia men her whole life, who only wanted to keep her in a safe little bubble.

But with a father like hers, that really isn’t possible. Especially when, as a teenager, her father made a deal that would alter her dreams the moment the ink dried on the paper.

Or does it?

There has been only one thing she has ever really wanted. Marcello, her older brother’s best friend and one of the capos. She has wanted him for years but believes he only sees her as the untouchable princess. 

 Does she get what she wants or not?

How will the overprotective men in her life deal when she finally decides she is done being what they want?
