Meet Californian Téa Caruso ...
her mother drives her crazy,
her sisters give "advice." She
has a family just like any other,
except for one tiny difference ...
Her grandfather isn't just
in the mob ... he is the mob!

And no one knows this better than Johnny Magee. The Caruso
family destroyed his dad. Now, it's payback time -- and
he's going to need an unsuspecting insider ... one who
won't realize what he's really after.

Téa loves her family but hates what they do. She's tried to
stay far away from her notorious relatives, making a legit
name for herself as an interior designer. But her
grandfather Cosimo's gala 80th birthday is coming up. Every
mobbed-up member of the family from San Francisco to
Sarasota will be there -- and it's time for Téa to face the
family or face the consequences.

Intent on using Téa for revenge, Johnny hires her to redo
his home, but then she makes him "offers" he can't refuse.
Soon he's falling in love with the enemy and when all the
secrets are revealed, what will Téa do ... and even worse,
what will her family?
