Kit Kentala has wanted nothing more than to be accepted (and perhaps even welcomed) by her estranged father's family. But this small-town organized crime family isn't keen on welcoming in a stranger--especially a stranger with a birthright over their empire.

But, now, her chance has come. Facing a serious illness, her father no longer simply wants Kit in his life; he needs her.

To take her rightful place at the family dinner table Kit will have to negotiate an emotional minefield that includes a stepmother who wants nothing to do with her and siblings who find her over-achieving nature threatening to their place in their father's heart.
