After brooding, mercurial mobster Besian saves Marley for the second time, she anxiously awaits his visit in the hospital. She's ready to confess her love for him, certain he returns her feelings. Except, he never comes to see her.
Heartbroken, Marley flees Houston and Besian. She wanders Europe, looking for answers, and eventually finds herself standing in the last place she ever expected—Albania, his homeland.
Back in Houston, Besian tries to pretend everything is fine. He's convinced himself that letting Marley go was the right decision. She's too good, too pure, for a dark-hearted monster like him.
But, when Besian learns someone has put a hit on Marley, he can't lie to himself—or her—any longer. He leaves Houston in the middle of the night, racing off to Albania to find her.
And once he does, he knows there's only one way to truly keep her safe. Whether she likes it or not, she's coming back to Houston as his wife.
