Rooted from Betrayal

A medicine graduate, a loyal friend, and a loving fiancée. That's what she was before they sold her to the highest bidder.

Now she's a tool, an accessory and a toy to a man whose life is on the wrong side of the law.

Her name is Zanele Zungu-a 24 year old South African woman who was just beginning her path to becoming a neurosurgeon. She had barely come to terms with her engagement when her friends betrayed her, selling her on the black market.

His name is Antonio Cristiano Valastro-he's 29 years old, Italian and the executioner in his family's empire. He's ruthless and he bows to no one but his eldest brother, the Don. And now, he owns her.

Ripped away from everything she loved, Zanele has nothing to lose-except her life.

Antonio's world isn't kind-it takes, exploits, and discards. If Zanele wants to survive, she must learn one thing: power respects power.

Because in this world, being discarded means death.
