Eliana Snow is a sweet, innocent young woman who's about to inherit the family fortune at age 21.
Right now her parents' company, bank accounts, and estates are managed by the court-appointed trustee - Harvey Snow, an uncle who sincerely hates her. The feeling is mutual. Harvey is capable of anything. Even murder.
The plot starts exactly six months before Eliana's 21st birthday. It's the moment when harassment becomes too much to handle.
Eliana out of sheer desperation asks the mafia boss Rafael Vincenti for protection and to her surprise she receives a marriage proposal from him. At first, their relationship begins as a passionless business deal but it slowly grows into something more.
