Ruthless Protector: Book 1

My father's debt was meant to be paid in blood. Instead, it was paid with me.

Luca always knew his father, Dante, danced with the devil. He just never imagined he would be the sacrifice. When Dante's gambling debts finally insurmountable, he did the unthinkable. He walked his own son into the foreboding stone castle looming over the forest village and offered a trade with
Jax. A legend in the underworld, Jax is a ruthless killer trained for war and built for violence. He took one look at Luca-trembling and betrayed-and decided to take the deal. The debt was cleared, and Luca's freedom was forfeited.
Now, Luca is no longer a man; he is the property of a mobster who doesn't know how to be gentle. But surviving Jax is only half the battle, there's also Nikolai.
Jax's shadow. His bodyguard. His chauffeur. When Jax is handling business, the duty of keeping the prize safe falls to him. Nikolai is silent, watchful, and lethal. Trapped in a fortress with two dangerous men, Luca finds himself in a gilded cage. Jax owns his body, but as Nikolai stands guard, the lines between prisoner, protector, and possession begin to blur.
