All Livia wanted was a fresh start. A new job, a little dignity, and a chance to keep her struggling family afloat. What she got instead was a front-row seat to the cold-blooded world of the Vitale crime family.

Fired after just three days of enduring her infuriatingly distant boss, Angelo Vitale-a man carved from ice and steel-Livia thought her nightmare was over. Until she was kidnapped off the street and delivered to his uncle: Damien Vitale, the cruel underboss with a smile sharper than his blade.

Now, trapped in a power struggle between two merciless men, Livia learns that survival is more than just keeping your head down-it's knowing when to fight back, and when to make them bleed.

But Angelo isn't the man she thought he was. He finds her. Claims her. And in one heated moment-back pressed against his office door, voice a low command in her ear-he makes one thing clear:
"You don't walk away from me, Livia. Not when I've already chosen you."

Torn between danger and desire, fear and fascination, Livia is pulled into a deadly game of secrets, scars, and the kind of love that ruins you completely.

And in the shadows, someone is watching-waiting to shatter what's left of her hope.
