After the tragic death of his parents, Ethan Romano, a hardworking and ambitious twenty-year-old, juggles multiple jobs to pay rent and save for college. One night while working at a rundown convenience store, he catches the eye of Leonardo Vancini, a powerful and ruthless CEO known for his unrelenting control over everything-and everyone-in his life.

Leonardo becomes obsessed with the innocence and quiet strength he sees in Ethan and decides he must have him. Unable to take no for an answer, he commands Carlos, his loyal personal guard, to kidnap Ethan and bring him to his mansion.


As days turn into weeks,he becomes Ethan's only source of comfort in the lavish yet suffocating cage Leonardo has created.
 Ethan's defiance and resilience intrigue Leonardo, but the CEO's desire to possess him only grows darker and more dangerous. Meanwhile, Carlos finds himself struggling to keep his distance as he watches Ethan's strength slowly chip away under Leonardo's control.

When Ethan starts to develop feelings for Carlos-the very man who kidnapped him-their connection becomes a dangerous secret. But as Leonardo's obsession deepens, Carlos is forced to make a choice: continue to serve the man who owns him or risk everything to save the one he's come to love.

Autumn McKenzie learned two things early in life: people leave, and love doesn't pay the bills. After losing her parents at just nine years old, she was shuffled through the system like a forgotten file. By eighteen, she was done trusting anyone but herself. Stripping wasn't a dream, but it was survival-and it paid better than hope ever did. Enter Luciano Romano. CEO. Billionaire. Dangerous. At thirty-four, he runs his empire with iron control-and plays even harder. He doesn't chase. He takes. And when he walks into the velvet-lit club where Autumn dances, he decides she's his next acquisition. But Autumn isn't a toy, and she's not afraid of the dark. Luciano doesn't believe in love. Autumn doesn't believe in men like him. What begins as a power play turns into something neither of them expected-obsession, surrender, and secrets neither one is ready to confess. Because some sins are worth keeping...
