She was promised to a monster. Then he stole her from the altar.
Isabella Moretti has one duty-marry the ruthless heir of the Romano crime family to end their bloody feud. But when a rival makes a last-minute offer, she thinks she's escaped the devil she's never met.
She's wrong.
•-----•
Dante Romano doesn't take insults lightly. When Isabella's father breaks their agreement, Dante does what he does best-he takes what he wants. Kidnapped from her own wedding, Isabella wakes up bound to his bed, at the mercy of a man whose icy gaze burns hotter than she expected.
Trapped in his gilded cage, she discovers the truth: Dante is far more dangerous than the rumors claimed. Cold, possessive, and lethally attractive, he demands her submission. But the real threat isn't his cruelty-it's the way he watches her like she's the answer to a question he's never asked.
As tension ignites into something forbidden, Isabella faces an impossible choice:
Hate the man who stole her... or surrender to the passion that could destroy them both.
A mafia romance of stolen vows, dangerous obsession, and a love that blooms in the darkest places.
