Anthony is a 3rd generation Mafia Boss. He inherited the job. He hated the job. He was determined that the association would end with him. His only son, Frank, would not be lumbered with a life of organised crime nor the fear of violent retribution that goes with it. He extracted from Frank a vow that he would never join the mafia and when the boy graduated from high school, he sent him to England to further his education and become and English gentleman. Seven years later, Frank had just completed his MBA when he receives the news that Anthony had been assassinated. His Sicilian genes screamed for vengeance and conflicted with the solemn promise he had made his father.
Could he keep his vow?
Conflict also governed his love life. In England, he got involved with Emma, refined, erudite, the daughter of a manor aristocrat. At the same time, he got involve with Maria, who could only be described as a fishwife, crude, fiery, the daughter of a New York Mafia don.
He loved Emma. He lusted Maria.
