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 68

Rick watched as his sister tried on everything in her closet. Laughing as she fussed and fumed over everything she tried on.

"What about this one?"

Rick looked over the dress with a teasing smile. "Well, are you trying to set up some land on the prairie or get laid? Because that gives me Laura Engels Wilder vibes."

Yanking off the dress she threw it at him. "Then help me! You have the best fashion sense."

"Really? You laughed at my Speedo."

"That was because it was ridiculous. Come on, help me."

"Well, what about that hot little number you were designing for your show? The one Remi had on earlier."

"The black one. On no. That's far too sexy and Roman is so classy looking. I'd stick out like a sore thumb among those rich people."

"Doll face, according to the DNA, you are one of those rich people. Besides, it was sexy but really elegant. You'd fit right in."

"You think so?"

"I know so. Go grab it and try it on."
