And it didn't bother me, not when the boy whose eyes were that of pine loved me with a darkness that comforted me. But a twist of fate changed it all. The night that was meant to carve my future changed in a second when a man with stormy eyes barreled through my life. A man with a darkness that stole my breath away, that made me ache with a feeling far beyond comfort. Given off to the man with secrets and power that rival my family, I fight for my freedom. I hate him for taking me away from who I was supposed to be, and I hate him for robbing me of my happiness and love. So I act the way he thinks I am but with each step in our wicked dance, I end up tangled in his arms and my heart intertwined with his. I fall for him but will he fall for me?

We are nothing but bodies in the family, no thoughts or opinions. We are traded, sold, kept, forced to submit to the men. We have no voice or power, just wombs to fill. We are nothing to the men in La Cosa Nostra, my life no matter what I did, my future no matter what I wanted. But when a figure emerges threatening the family, I'm caught in the crossfire and shown an alternate. I see an opportunity to escape my future and be more. The plan was simple: thaw the heart of the head of the Bratva, make him fall in love, make him mad with desire, make him addicted to get it all, trick him and destroy him, free myself of the chains but there's one problem. I'm new to the game and he's been waiting, the past and fate binding us, twisting us closer and closer as death looms and secrets crawl out of the darkness. He's mad for me and I'm addicted to him.
