Intro

The central relationship is between Joey Moretti, the 22-year-old youngest member of the powerful Moretti family, and Maximo “Max” DiMarco, her brothers’ longtime best friend and protector. Joey has been attracted to Max for years, while Max deliberately keeps his distance because of his loyalty to her brothers. The publisher describes him as the man who sees the real Joey beneath the “spoiled Mafia princess” image. As the story progresses, Joey refuses to remain the protected little sister. She wants independence, wants a genuine role in the family business, and wants Max despite all the reasons their relationship is considered off-limits. Their relationship eventually becomes known to her brothers, creating another major source of conflict. At the same time, Max is dealing with a traumatic secret from his past. He has spent years believing that he was responsible for Fiona Delgado’s death. Eventually, buried evidence and Joey’s childhood memories reveal that what Max believed about the incident wasn’t the truth. This mystery becomes closely connected to Joey’s father and the Moretti family’s darker history. There is also a larger Mafia conflict involving Vito DiMarco, Kristin Campbell, the Russian mob, and Viktor Pushkin. Max’s attempt to protect Kristin becomes intertwined with his investigation into his past, while Joey gets pulled directly into the danger rather than remaining safely behind her family’s security. By the end, Joey has changed significantly. She isn’t simply the family’s sheltered youngest daughter anymore: she takes an active role in the family business, builds a life with Max, and becomes an equal partner rather than someone everyone else makes decisions for. So, in one sentence: Joey is about a Mafia heiress who refuses to remain protected and controlled, falls for the dangerous man who’s loved her from a distance, and gets caught in a web of family secrets and criminal conflicts that ultimately forces her to claim her own power.
