Carina is drawn to Salvatore LaGuardia like a moth to a flame-and just as doomed. He's everything she shouldn't want: ruthless, devastatingly handsome, and the most dangerous man in the city. The head of the Italian Mafia, he moves through the world like a king, his power absolute, his sins written in blood. And she can't resist him. At first, it's just a game. She throws herself at him, reckless and curious, drawn to the danger in his smirk. He indulges her, amused by her boldness-until he isn't. Because Salvatore discovers two things: 1. She's the daughter of the famous politician he murdered years ago. 2. She's been talking to the police. Now, she's not just a plaything. She's a target. But the closer he gets to ending her, the harder it is to resist the fire between them. Every touch is a battle. Every kiss is a betrayal. She should hate him. He should kill her. Yet the line between revenge and obsession blurs, and soon, neither can tell where the vendetta ends... and the passion begins.

Carina lives in a golden, glimmering cage. Glamorous as it may be, she is a prisoner of the Mafia that murdered her family. She does not realize it. All she realizes is her undying love for Salvatore. Her love is put to the test when she falls pregnant. She does not wish to have the baby and because of this she is offered a preposition. The preposition stipulates that she will be paid a large sum to have the baby, after which she must leave both Salvatore and her baby. Will she indulge these 'dark delights' and leave with the cash, or will she choose to stay with Salvatore and her baby?
