They gave her everything she ever wanted-freedom, land, horses. But a collar made of gold is still a collar.
At twenty, Marcella Romano had only ever trusted two things, herself and horses. Every dollar she's earned and every bruise she's endured has gone towards her one and only dream: freedom. But when her ruthless father trades her future for power, Marcella finds herself caught in a deal she can't escape.
Her new life belongs to Enzo Moretti-the city's most feared and powerful mafia boss-and his two right hand men:
Marco Russo. The quiet strategist who watches her like he already knows she'll break.
Luca Santoro, the brutal enforcer who masks his danger behind his smirk.
They've taken her from the only life she's ever known. But even surrounded by luxury, Marcella knows what she is-a prisoner with stolen dreams and silk sheets.
In a world where power means everything, Marcella refuses to surrender. But when protection turns into possession, and loyalty starts to look like love, she must decide whether to fight for her freedom...or risk it all for the men who could destroy her.
