Mateo had everything he could want. He is the Boss of the Italian Mafia; he has his family and women are at his disposal. Until his father comes to him and tells him he has one year to pick a bride of his choosing, or one will be picked for him. Emilia catches Mateo's attention, and he decides she can be the solution to his bride problem. He figures this single mother will be an easy arranged marriage.
