When Lucie's life hits rock bottom, she reluctantly returns to her chaotic, mob-connected family—and straight into the orbit of Frankie Falcone, the charming ex who never quite left her heart. What starts as a humble dog-walking gig unexpectedly blossoms into a thriving business creating gorgeous bling-covered accessories, with Frankie cheering her on every step of the way. But when her glamorous canine clients start disappearing in a string of dognappings, Lucie finds herself caught between building her dream and unraveling a dangerous mystery that could destroy everything she's fought to create. With her lovable, mobster family in the background and Frankie playing the devoted Mr. Fix-It, this swoon-worthy romance delivers both laughs and edge as Lucie discovers that second chances at love and success might be worth the chaos after all.
