The Payment

Vincent Ricci doesn't play games.
A ruthless CEO and feared mafia leader, his empire is built on control, blood, and debts that are always paid, one way or another. To him, love is a weakness, and weakness has no place in his world.

Tim Blake owes him more than money can cover. Drowning in debt and desperation, Tim offers the only thing he has left: his daughter.

Destiny Blake never asked for this life. One night she's just a woman trying to live quietly, the next she's the "payment" for her father's sins, thrust into the grip of a man who rules with an iron fist.

But what begins as power and possession turns into something neither of them expected. In a world of crime, passion, and betrayal, Destiny challenges everything Vincent thought he knew about control-and about himself.

She was never meant to be his weakness.
But she might just become his salvation.
