Freedom is a prison of the mind. A man who takes what he wants. A girl who defiles his control. Controlled her entire life, Celestina, a prisoner of hell, yearns only for escape. Freedom, or even death, seems preferable to her torment. But liberation, as she soon discovers, comes with a devastating price. A fleeting taste of freedom is shattered when a predatory man sets his sights on her. Giordani, a ruthless predator, takes what he wants. And what he wants most is her. His hatred for her is as potent as his fixation. Yet, she's merely a pawn in his cruel game. Confined to his remote cabin, she's forced to endure his presence. The heat of his touch ignites a traitorous response within her, a reaction she swore never to experience for a man. The darkness she escaped may be her only salvation. Can she outrun the shadows, or will she become a prisoner once more? Freedom is demanding a heavy price. Surrender, kneeling at his feet, is a fate worse than death. Celestina will play her own game, a game where survival doesn't mean submission to his mercy. This unfathomable girl, she is the riddle, a puzzle Giordani may never solve.
