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 131

Remi was so excited she wasn't thinking when she crawled up the side of Luke's house to his office. Tripped as she climbed in, she fell at his feet with a giggle.

Helping her to her feet Luke just laughed. "I thought I heard you climbing up. You know you can use the door now, right?"

"I was just excited and think we should keep a low profile while this plan goes into action that you and Roman have going. I have something to show you." Pushing the photo into Luke's hand she was practically jumping in place. "Isn't it wonderful? This one is for you. Poppy set up a girl's day and we did a photoshoot. I got to model for her, and we did sexy pictures for you and Roman. It was so much fun, and I can't wait to do it again."

When Luke took the photo in hand, his mouth dropped open. "Whoa. Hot momma! You look fantastic. So, that's why you have all that makeup on. I like you natural, but you look pretty."
