She thought she was signing paperwork to save her family.
She didn't know she was signing herself away.
Elena Vale is twenty-one, broke, and drowning in debts that aren't hers. With a missing father and a mother crushed by loans she never should've taken, Elena walks into a glass tower owned by one of the most powerful men in Europe-believing she can bargain her way out.
She's wrong.
Alessandro De Luca is a billionaire philanthropist to the world.
To the underworld, he is something else entirely.
Cold. Calculated. Untouchable.
A man who doesn't threaten-he decides.
The contract Elena signs doesn't own her body.
It owns her loyalty.
Under Alessandro's protection, Elena is given everything: luxury, safety, silence. But protection has a price, and the closer she gets to the devil who bought her freedom, the more she realizes his obsession isn't about control alone.
It's about possession.
He says he's saving her from a cruel world.
She wonders if the real danger... is falling for him.
Because loving Alessandro De Luca doesn't just cost your heart.
It costs your soul.
