Breaking for the Boss

Micah De La Cruz rules his territory with a cold, iron grip. As the head of a powerful crime syndicate, he operates without empathy, eliminating anyone who threatens his control. When a rival family attempts to invade his city, Micah retaliates by taking the ultimate prize: the rival leader's daughter, Emma.

He expects a hostage who will crumble under pressure, begging for mercy while he uses her as leverage. Instead, he finds a woman who refuses to break. Emma stands her ground, meeting his threats with unwavering defiance. Her fearlessness is an unexpected challenge that quickly turns into a dangerous obsession for a man who has never felt anything before.

The dynamic shifts when Micah steps in to protect Emma from a violent member of his own organization. As the lines between captor and protector blur, Emma begins to question everything she was taught about the man holding her captive. In a world defined by power and violence, the most dangerous thing they can do is allow themselves to feel.
