One cold winter night, Tommelise Pollicina's car wouldn't start after her shift at a local club. She never imagined that accepting a ride from the kindly old woman, Mrs. Tudse, would lead to her being kidnapped and then sold to mob boss Bayard Muldvarp. Tommelise is desperate to escape and return to her mother and her old life, but with every failed attempt, she becomes more trapped and afraid.
Meanwhile, her mother, Maria, is frantic to find her. She turns to Francesco Mignolina, a powerful man in the criminal underworld, for help. When Francesco learns that Tommelise is missing, he is furious and sends his most trusted enforcer, Efron Fugl, to find her.
Efron discovers that Tommelise has been sold to be married to Bayard Muldvarp. Francesco, who has feelings for Tommelise, will stop at nothing to make her his own. He knows that if he can't have her, no one can. And he is willing to start a war with Bayard to make sure that happens.
