Everyone in the Rinaldi Mob has a job to do—a role to play—and newly appointed Mafian, Jisei Harper, is no exception.
Jisei is used to slumming it out on her own. From birth, she was dealt a bad hand, but instead of dwelling on it, she smiled, rolled her shoulders back, and played her cards. After years of struggling, she meets Mocha, a rich daddy’s girl, and Scarlett, a naïve hoodlum who had it worse off than Jisei. Little did she know, these two new friendships would lead her to the only blood relative she never knew existed, her brother, Demise Rinaldi—Don and head of the Rinaldi Mafia. Time has passed, and now Jisei is no longer a struggling college student but a corporate Barbie with zeroes in her bank account. Leaving the sweet struggling life of a sorority girl behind, Jisei dove head first into a new clan and that was the one she was granted at birth. In the mob, she mostly sits back, being spoiled by her big brother, listens to her best friends who have been upgraded to rich mob wives, and spends her days partying, shopping, and living the good life. The term rich Auntie that so many wish was their reality really is Jisei’s. With all of her friends being mommies and her brother having a new baby, she spoils all of her babies rotten and sends them on their way. All good things must come to an end, however, and Jisei’s good thing is no exception. With so many blessings falling in her lap, a tech is bound to rear its ugly head. That tech isn’t ugly though. As a matter of fact, Ezio Cuppacio doesn’t have an unattractive bone in his body. The rival mob, the Cuppacios, were perceived to be all wiped out by Don Demise. As the head, Ezio liked for the world to think his family was all in the dirt and took pride in keeping his head down and protecting and providing for his remaining bloodline. Money is good, but it could be better, and when he is given the opportunity of a lifetime from his sworn enemy, he can’t help but agree. Jisei, the humbled beauty, just knew life had gotten sweet for her, but when her brother forces her hand in marriage to a man who sees her as nothing but a means to help his people, she then realizes the mob isn’t all shopping sprees and diamond cleaning. Shit has gotten real, and maybe a little too real for Jisei.
