Romeo and Juliet meets The Godfather in this thrilling Mafia romance from number one bestselling author Catherine Doyle.
Sophie Gracewell's only plans for the summer involve working at her family's diner, hanging out with her best friend Millie, and generally keeping a low profile after the drama of her father's arrest last year. But when five mysterious Italian brothers suddenly move into town, her life changes forever.
Irresistibly drawn to bad boy Nic, Sophie finds herself falling into a dangerous criminal underworld governed by powerful families. When her own dark family secrets come to light, she must pick a side – the family she was born into, or the boy she is falling in love with. When she does, blood will spill and hearts will break...

'A vibrant new twist on Romeo and Juliet. Full of energy and intrigue!' Lucy Christopher, author of STOLEN

'Fan-freaking-tastic ... I honestly can't say enough good things about it! I would read anything Cat Doyle writes after flying through VENDETTA!' Victoria Scott, author of the FIRE & FLOOD series

      Sophie Gracewell has been trying to hold herself and her family together ever since her father was sent to jail for murdering a man at their diner. When the mysterious Falcone family moves into the supposedly haunted mansion in her Chicago neighborhood, Sophie and her best friend Millie are thrilledânow there are five new beautiful boys to ogle. Sophie quickly falls for Nicoli Falcone, even as she learns his family is bad news. Even more upsetting, Nicâs brothers forbid him from seeing Sophie because sheâs a Gracewell. It isnât long before Sophie realizes that the rift between the Gracewells and Falcones is wrapped up in why her father is in jail. With its families at war and star-crossed lovers caught in the middle, Doyleâs YA debut reads like a modern twist on Romeo and Juliet by way of The Sopranos. However, the use of an attempted sexual assault as a plot device to build romantic tension between Nic and Sophie detracts from this violent romantic mystery. Ages 14âup. Agent: Claire Wilson, Rogers, Coleridge & White.
