Introduction:
Reba McCoy, known as the Texas Hellcat, is a noble heiress of the Visconti mafia family. After her family fell apart, she lived on a farm and grew fearless. At 28, still never in love, she marries the powerful Brooklyn mafia Falcone family — her groom is only a portrait.
Carmela, the family’s matriarch, thinks her stepson Marcello is dead. She arranges this ghost wedding, sure the hot-tempered Reba will mistreat Marcello’s two kids. Once the children are gone, her own son Gene can take power. But Marcello comes back, badly wounded.
While Marcello recovers, his stepmother, grandmother and stepbrother bully Reba and the children. Tough Reba protects the kids and fights back. The children, who once rejected her, finally accept her as their real mother. She exposes Carmela’s stolen family wealth, pushes Marcello to split from the family. The couple, once using each other, fall in love and move to Miami together.
