Ciara Sanchez spent her entire life living in the shadows. While her older sister, Sheila Sanchez, was adored and celebrated, Ciara was treated as an inconvenience. Hidden from the spotlight and subjected to years of cruelty from her parents, Armani and Rosà Sanchez, she learned long ago that no one was coming to save her. Then the debt collectors came. Desperate to repay a debt owed to one of the most feared mafia bosses in the country, Armani and Rosà are given a simple choice: offer one of their daughters in marriage. To them, the answer should have been obvious however the mafia boss doesn't care which sister he takes neither does Ciara.

Because after a lifetime spent drowning beneath the weight of everyone else's choices, Ciara finds herself clinging to the one thing she never expected..Her anchor.
