Stolehisheart Stories

--- She was supposed to be a hostage. He was supposed to be her captor. But in the underworld of blood and shadows, nothing stays simple. When Isabella is taken by the Vitale mafia lord, she swears she'll never break - never bend, never love the man who caged her. Damiano Vitale is everything she should fear: ruthless, dangerous, untouchable. Yet behind his storm-gray eyes hides a grief that has hollowed him, a vow never to lose again. Every escape she attempts pulls her deeper into his fire. Every fight she gives him only feeds his obsession. And when war erupts between rival families, Isabella becomes the prize - the weakness Damiano can't afford, but the salvation he refuses to surrender. Trapped between freedom and the man she swore to hate, Isabella must face the most dangerous truth of all: Sometimes chains are not forged by iron, but by love. And in the ashes of blood and fire, the choice to stay is the most terrifying freedom of all. ---
