Two years into his marriage, Ottavio has everything he could ever wish for: Ives gave him three beautiful, healthy babies, Ivy keeps things spicy in bed, and Poisoned Ivy finally trusts him. But, one day, the consequence of a one-night stand shows up at his doorstep, risking shattering the harmonious, peaceful life he and his loved ones built.

As this wasn't enough, the shadows of a past that isn't his are hunting Ottavio down, trying to depose him from everything. His position as head of the Sforza family, his newly earned good reputation inside the Old-World Mafia, the business empire his ancestors spent centuries building and expanding?everything is threatened by his invisible enemies.

Between reconciling with his own past and dealing with the consequences of his ancestors' mistakes and bad decisions, what would Ottavio do? Will he turn to his beloved Ives, Ivy, and Poisoned Ivy for help, will he ask The Council for advice and support, or will he choose isolation and try to fix everything by himself?
