Mia Cara

"I was sold for a debt that wasn't mine. I was saved by a monster who made me his own."

At nine years old, Mia learned that a father's love had a price tag. Sold by the man who should have protected her to a den of wolves, she was a small, forgotten ghost waiting for the dark to swallow her whole.

Until the doors splintered.

Dante Moretti stepped through the smoke like a god of ruin. He was there to kill, but in the carnage, he found a pair of wide, innocent eyes that didn't look away. Trembling, Mia reached out and pinched the edge of his heavy wool coat, anchoring herself to the only thing that felt like solid ground.

In that single, desperate tug, the Butcher of the Underworld was undone. He didn't just rescue her; he made her a Moretti, raising her in a fortress of silk and steel.

For 12 years , she was his dove-the only light in his blood-stained world.
But now, the nightmare has returned. Mia has been taken by Damian, the ruthless heir to a rival empire and Dante's most sadistic enemy. Damian didn't just take her to start a war; he took her to break the man who raised her.

Yet, behind the cold walls of Damian's estate, the game is changing. Mia is no longer that helpless nine-year-old girl, and Damian is beginning to realize that the woman he kidnapped to destroy his enemy might be the only one capable of conquering him.

In a world of silver-plated guns and lethal obsessions, Mia is caught between the father who burned the world to save her and the enemy who is prepared to burn it down to keep her.
