MAFIA ROMANCE
Some people inherit family businesses. On occasion, that inheritance comes in the form of organized crime. Hey...a job's a job.
Whether your character was born into the life, dragged into it kicking and screaming, or just made the mistake of falling for someone with too many expensive suits and more enemies: ciao. This meme's got dramatic glances across smoky restaurants, deals that go sideways, fake engagements that get inconveniently real, bodyguards with no sense of personal space because who needs it, rival families, loyalties you struggle to keep straight, and romance that probably needs a lawyer on retainer.
Play it straight or melodramatic or so full of yearning it could power this murky city's grid. Historical, modern, cobbled together from every crime movie you've watched at two am? Doesn't matter. Thread it out. Do Pacino proud. Slice-of-life with a criminal empire in the background works. For the record, so does a full-on blood feud.
