[WARNING! FOR 18+ ONLY] Damian Walton, the ruthless CEO of Walton Enterprises, is a man of control, power, and darkness. His life is ruled by order, dedication to his family's legacy, and the dangerous world he's built-a world where survival is earned in blood. But beneath his calculated exterior lies an obsession, one he can't control. Valeria Clark is the woman who haunts his every thought. She is his father's employee, his Miami one-night fling, and the woman he forced into a marriage that defies everything they both stand for. From her striking beauty to her fierce independence, Valeria challenges him in ways no one else dares. Her hatred for him is clear, but that only fuels his desire. She's a puzzle he's determined to solve, no matter the cost. Despite the rivalry that brews between them, Damian is consumed by her. No other woman has ever made him feel this way, and he won't let her escape. No matter how much she fights. He will drag her deeper into his terrifying world of power, violence, and survival until she belongs to him, body and soul. She's now trapped in his web, and he'll make sure she never runs away. In the dark corners of their twisted love story, nothing is as it seems, and every secret they hide could be the one that destroys them both.

Sold. Caged. Desired. When Valeria is sold to the mafia, she is thrust into a brutal world of blood and power, where survival is a game only the ruthless can win. With nothing but her wits and a fire that refuses to die, she sets her sights on the most dangerous man in the underworld-La Campone, Alfredo Dela Cruz. Her plan is simple: Make him want her. Make him need her. Make him her way out. But Alfredo is not a man to be controlled. He is a king among criminals, a man with darkness in his veins and secrets buried deep. The more Valeria plays her game, the tighter his grip on her becomes-until she no longer knows if she's seducing him... or if she's the one being consumed. Love was never part of the plan. Freedom was all she wanted. But in a world where hearts are as dangerous as bullets, can Valeria escape before Alfredo owns her completely? Or is she already too far gone? In this world, love is power. And power always comes at a price.
