I never expected my stepfather's sins to cost me my freedom.
One moment, I'm dreaming of a future I actually want. The next, I'm being handed over to a man who doesn't know the meaning of mercy.
Massimo Marino is ruthless, a man feared by many, and now he's my husband. To him, I'm nothing more than collateral for a debt owed. But if he thinks I'll be the obedient, silent wife, he's sorely mistaken.
Yet the more I fight, the more tangled we become. Every glance, every touch, every threat sends my pulse racing with something far more dangerous than fear.
I thought my freedom was the only thing worth fighting for. But when I uncover the truth about the traitor among us, I realize Massimo isn't the only monster at my door.
Now, the real question isn't whether I can escape him, but whether he'll believe me before it's too late.
