Birthday fall skips ten years into a Mafia marriage and motherhood.
An eighteenth birthday pledge to avoid Linus Montgomery ends abruptly when a manhole swallows the protagonist whole. She surfaces a decade older in New York, wearing a wedding ring to the city's most feared Don and parenting his six-year-old daughter. The missing years expose a younger self who drained the family fortune and chose a manipulative scumbag over the dangerous man now sharing her bed. Armed with hindsight, she moves to shield the child, purge the leeches, and reclaim her Mafia king, until a buzzing phone flashes a text from "Hubby" that changes everything.
