Resentful and withdrawn, he is forced to accept help from Sofia Russo, his childhood friend who has transformed from a naive girl into a strong, compassionate woman. Her unwavering support and gentle presence begin to heal his wounded heart, sparking an unexpected and passionate romance. Chaos reigns as Sofia's brother Julian tries to bring order to their fractured world, and old-school Sal Giordano is appointed as the head of the syndicate, clashing with Julian's modern vision.

On the streets of North Boston, Sofia struggles to hold together what's left of her family. As she works to help Luca recover, Sofia sees past the soldier's hardened exterior to the man he once was, but the harder she fights the intense heat between them, the closer they become, even though Sofia knows Luca is hiding something.
