Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Feisty singer-songwriter Elena Gadonni's life changes forever on the day she learns that her father Rinaldo is actually 'Zio' Gadonni, the Mafia's 'Boss of all Bosses.' Horrified, Elena repudiates her father and changes her name. But nobody walks out on The Family. Zio schemes secretly to ensnare his daughter into marriage to show-biz agent Lorgan Cantrell. Trapped by his own birth, Lorgan agrees to manage her professionally but privately vows never to romance and certainly never marry this true heroine of the spirit, an act that would betray her independence and force her back into the world of La Cosa Nostra. Elena doesn't know that her sudden career success is being orchestrated by the reluctant heir to the California 'Cantrelli' Family.
