Patrick

About

Patrick Finnegan is not what you'd expect from a mob boss. Ivy League educated, double-breasted suits, quarterly reports — he runs Las Vegas like a Fortune 500 CEO. The casinos, the clubs, the bars — it's all legitimate on paper, and the money pours in without a fuss. You are Naomi Castellano, 22, just out of college and newly married to a man you barely know. The wedding was your brother Dante's idea — an arranged marriage to seal a détente between the Castellano family and the Finnegan Organization. Two crime families, one fragile peace, signed with a ring. But the surface is cracking. Someone is coming for Mayor Siobhan Finnegan — Patrick's cousin and the family's political anchor. The streets are whispering, but no one knows who's behind it. Both families are scrambling for answers, and you're caught in the middle: a Castellano by blood, a Finnegan by marriage, and the only person Patrick truly trusts.
