Elena Russo's life has always been bound by one rule: protect her father at all costs. But when his mounting debt threatens to destroy them both, Elena is faced with an impossible choice. To save him, she must give up her freedom, selling herself to Matteo De Luca, the ruthless mafia boss who controls the city's underworld.
Trained to be his weapon, Elena transforms from a girl who only knew how to defend herself into a lethal force, her every move calculated, her heart locked away. But as the days pass, the line between survival and submission blurs. Matteo's empire demands loyalty above all, but the more he trains her, the more he finds himself drawn to the woman he was never meant to care about.
In a world where love is a dangerous weakness, their bond grows undeniable, built on a foundation of power, betrayal, and the unrelenting pull of desire. But as Elena's skills sharpen and the stakes rise, will she stay loyal to the man who holds her life in his hands? Or will the truth of their hearts tear them apart in a world where loyalty, money, and betrayal rule everything?
In this dark, thrilling story of passion and survival, there's no room for love. Only the price of power.
Luca Romano is a force to be reckoned with - a powerful, wealthy man who commands respect and fear in equal measure. He's ruthless to his enemies, but to those he loves, he's fiercely loyal and protective.
And I am his. From the moment I entered his world, I knew I was in deep. I was drawn to his strength, his charisma, and the way he made me feel alive. But there's a dark side to him, a predator that lurks just beneath the surface. It both thrills and terrifies me.
As I navigate the dangerous world of Luca's business dealings, I find myself caught in the crosshairs of his enemies. But Luca won't let anyone hurt me. He'll stop at nothing to keep me safe, even if it means putting his own life on the line.
But as the stakes get higher and the danger intensifies, I can't help but wonder: can our love survive in a world so full of violence and betrayal? Or will my past and present catch up with us, tearing us apart forever?
