Couture Criminals

Cheeky owner of a struggling fashion boutique, Poppy Fields dreams of having her designs rocking the couture runways in Paris and Milan. While fantasizing about the glamorous life, her world is about to collide with the devil himself in the form of a dangerous mafia leader, Roman D’Amico, out for revenge for his dead brother. Often mistaken as the future wife of one of Chicago’s most notorious crime bosses, and Roman’s rival gang member, everyone who enters Poppy’s little shop believes they are doing a favor to the Gambino family. When her doppelgänger waltzes into her boutique, the women are shocked to find they look like twins. Leaving her identification behind as a ruse to flee the country, Claudia switches lives with the unsuspecting fashion designer. When Luke Gambino falls for the ploy, he believes Poppy is his runaway bride, forcing her to take on the persona of the real Claudia Ricci. Following the murder of his brother, Roman D’Amico is looking for revenge. When he suspects the Gambinos are behind it, he plots to kidnap the rival gang member’s wife. Unknowing that the women have switched places, Roman kidnaps the wrong couture diva. With Claudia missing, Poppy must keep up the ruse, and convince Roman to keep her alive or fall into the hands of the murderous Gambino family.

Chapter 158

Entering the room where the older Dons sat, Luke, straightened his tie, giving a smile across the room to Remi. 

"She's beautiful., Son. She's going to make a good wife." 

"She sure is, Dad. I love that woman more than life itself." 

Taking a seat, Luke gave a nod to Roman as Don Ricci stood. "Now we are all here, I want to give a great thank you to our younger leaders. You all have shown us what family truly is about. Roman, Luke, Remi, and my sweet daughter Poppy. We all owe you a world of gratitude. You brought my family back and I am forever in your debt." 

"No, Don Ricci. We are to you," reaching to take Poppy's hand, Roman added. "You believed in us. That's what mattered."
