Evelyn Anthony:
the scarlet thread

If you wished Michael Corleone had stayed with his family's wishes and not become involved with "the business" then The Scarlet Thread is your chance to see what may have become.  Steven Falconi is the oldest son in this mafia story, and when true love comes his way he must make several difficult decisions regarding his life.  There are, of course, several complications including his marriage to Clara, the daughter of another powerful mafia family....she's not the true love and is certainly not ready to give up her man easily.  So if you believe true love can withstand the tests of time (and probably more then the normal couple finds) this is the book for you!
