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.
Poppy was in a private room in her parents' vineyard banquette hall in Italy getting ready for the engagement party and totally distraught. After she helped Apple to escape the hands of the Serpent, she had to work overtime to convince Jaxson she was willing to marry him, going so far as actually pretending to like him, even though when he was out of sight she's cry uncontrollably.
The whole thing was a nightmare from the things she, Luke, and Remi had witnessed over the past couple of months. The only good thing was she bought herself a little time and convinced Jaxson to hold the wedding off until June.
It was New Year's Eve and getting close to midnight. Poppy fell into her father's arms, crying. "Daddy, I don't want to do this. I know I promised I'd do it, but I just have this feeling something's off. Jaxson is the worst."
"Baby, I thought you were okay with this."
