He's the Man of Steel. She's the girl with the match.

Giovanno Marruzo is New York's finest bachelor and the iron-fisted heir to a notorious syndicate. A man of tradition and lethal business, he has no time for anything beneath his "grounds of heaven." He rules the city with cold morals and a shadow empire that has never seen a crack-until her.

Carina Malcre grew up in the low suburbs, where nothing was given and everything was earned. A rising legal star, she used her grit to become a promising lawyer for a rival firm. But while digging through the files of a routine corporate case, she found it: the glitch in the Marruzo machine. A legal loophole hidden deep within their billion-dollar front that could dismantle Giovanno's entire legacy.

In the Marruzo world, you don't litigate-you eliminate.

But Giovanno sees a more permanent way to silence his most dangerous witness. Snatched from the courthouse steps, Carina is given an ultimatum that would make the devil flinch: spend her life in a concrete cell, or sign a marriage license that binds her to the man she was meant to take down.

Now, Carina is trapped in a gilded cage, legally bound to the monster of New York. But Giovanno is about to learn that while he may own her name, Carina is a survivor of the streets-and she's spent her whole life learning how to win.
