Forced into marriage with the ruthless don, Grace's quest for justice becomes a desperate fight for her life. Cesare, deluded into believing Grace loves him, orders her to kill his enemy. But Grace's true feelings are for the man he wants dead. To protect him, Grace must play her role convincingly, walking a dangerous line between deception and loyalty. Before she can complete her plan, Cesare isolates her in a remote estate, severing all ties to the outside world. His new command is chilling: she must bear his child, or face death. With no one to trust and no means of escape, Grace must use her wits to turn captivity into resistance. ​​​​​​​Surrounded by constant danger and haunted by the prospect of motherhood under the man she despises, Grace must summon every ounce of strength. As her world grows darker, one question remains: can she protect the man she loves and outmaneuver a monster...without becoming a monster herself?
