Elena, divorced for seven childless years, is given to Damien, head of the Kessler mafia. She expects humiliation, but finds his quiet respect and protection, and warmth caring for his late wife's children, Leo and Mia. When her ex Julian remarries and publicly shames her, Damien backs her as mafia boss. Finally, "infertile" Elena bears quadruplets, shattering the Sterlin lie and finding true love in a marriage that began as a trade.
