Mafia Boss’s Forbidden Brother-in-Law

Leo is a college student struggling financially, weighed down by his mother's mounting medical bills. When his classmate Ella makes him an unusual offer, to present himself as the father of her unborn child, Leo accepts, hoping the payment will solve his family's crisis. He has a complicated history with Ella's brother Raphael, a notorious mafia boss, that goes back to a drunken encounter on a cruise, after which Raphael believed Leo had taken advantage of his sister.

When Ella leaves for France, Leo and Raphael are left under one roof, their tension thick with misunderstanding and unresolved feelings. As Raphael shows his capacity for tenderness by arranging exceptional medical care for Leo's mother, the walls between them begin to crumble. Their connection deepens despite the danger that surrounds Raphael's world, where rival criminal factions see Leo as a weak point they can exploit.

When their false engagement falls apart and a kidnapping sets off a crisis that forces Raphael to prove his devotion, Leo sees past the ruthless exterior. After Ella's marriage to her baby's biological father settles the original deception, Raphael takes Leo back to the cruise where everything began, ready to reveal the truth about his heart.
