Eulalia was born into money and lost all of it. She works nights at a club, and one night she patches up a wounded man in the street and takes his ring as payment. He turns out to be Cosimo Moretti, the most feared don in the city, and days later she's pulled into a ceremony as a substitute bride.
She knows exactly who he is. He doesn't trust a word she says, and his mother drugs them both on the wedding night. As Cosimo's coldness thins, Eulalia keeps hunting for her missing mother, with a stepsister and stepmother working against her and an old rival of Cosimo's holding the answers. The man she married is not who he claims to be, and what he's hiding has a clock on it.
