"You don't belong to your father anymore, Elena. You belong to me. And I don't share my toys."
Elena Kelly was the sheltered princess of the Irish Mob, until her father made a fatal mistake: he stole from the Italians. To pay his massive debt and save his empire, he did the unthinkable. He sold his only daughter.
Enter Alessandro Russo. The ruthless, untouchable Don of the New York Famiglia. He is cold, calculated, and wears a suit as perfectly as he wields a gun. He took Elena as collateral, intending to break her spirit and use her to humiliate his Irish rivals.
But Elena isn't a fragile doll, and she refuses to bow to the devil in a tailored suit.
Trapped in his sprawling, high-security penthouse, a dangerous game of control and seduction begins. Alessandro realizes his fiery Irish captive is slipping under his skin, waking a dark, possessive obsession he cannot control. And when a rival cartel targets Elena to get to the Don, they learn a terrifying truth:
Alessandro Russo doesn't just protect what's his. He paints the city in blood for it.
Will Elena survive the monster she was sold to, or will she become the Queen of his dark empire?
