When Ivy Cross is kidnapped by a notorious cartel leader, Rafael Vargas, she expects torture or ransom-but instead, Rafael offers her a deal: marry him, or her family dies. What Ivy doesn't know is that Rafael has been obsessed with her for years, watching her from the shadows and orchestrating every step of her downfall to bring her to this moment.
The marriage ceremony is swift, brutal, and non-negotiable. Now trapped in his fortress-like estate, Ivy fights to resist Rafael's twisted affection while uncovering the truth about why he chose her.
But Rafael isn't just a captor. He's a man who believes that Ivy was always meant to belong to him-and he will stop at nothing to break her spirit, claiming not only her body, but her heart.
