His to protect.

I thought I had a normal life-or as normal as it could be with my father in prison and my mother nowhere to be found. School was my escape, my routine... until the day three men dragged me into a car and drove me straight to the doorstep of Cole Thariaco, a powerful and dangerously captivating mafia boss.

He tells me I was never meant to be where I was. That the man I called my father wasn't my real dad at all-but a kidnapper who stole me as a child. A monster who turned my life into a lie. And now, Cole has taken me to protect me.

But why?

He's cold, ruthless, yet fiercely protective. His world is violent and full of secrets. And somehow, in his arms, I feel safer than I ever have before.

I should hate him. I should run. But when he looks at me like I belong to him, when his touch sends shivers down my spine... I start to wonder if falling for the most dangerous man in the city is the biggest mistake of my life-or the only thing that can truly save me.

Will I escape my past, or am I just walking into a new kind of danger-one that wears a suit and has piercing dark eyes?
