At twenty, Ayla Moore becomes the price for a crime she didn't commit; her fate sealed by a 600-year-old Canon that grants an angry mobster the right to vengeance. When Roman Berisha demands a life for a life after his brother's death, Ayla is handed over to settle the score - her freedom reduced to payment in a brutal code of honor. Torn from everything she's ever known, she's forced into the world of a man who believes vengeance is justice, and mercy is weakness. As Ayla struggles to survive under Roman's rule, hate should be easy. Falling for the man who claimed her as vengeance should never be part of the bargain, but in a world ruled by blood, loyalty, and power, love may be the most dangerous betrayal of all.
