This Devotion had me DEVASTATED, DESTROYED… forever DAMAGED. My heart.. smashed to pieces then slowly, painfully, put back together. What a tragic love story! 

Rosa Falcone is the rival mob bosses daughter, with a traumatic history that she copes with by using drugs and booze to black out and forget. When she’s kidnapped she doesn’t even fight it, she is ready for death. 

Luca Russo is THE mob boss of NYC. The Falcones have been a pain in his ass for years, and he is over it after they kidnapped and kïlled one of his top men, and aided in the kidnapping of his sister in law. He retaliates by kidnapping Marco Falcones, very beautiful, oldest daughter. Not realizing she has immense trauma she is hiding. He immediately drawn to her, puts her through detox, and doesn’t want to leave her side. Until a big player across the pond wants to make a deal he can’t refuse. If he does, it will mean the death of his family. But it means he has to give up Rosa.
