Soon she realizes she's too entangled to ever find a way out. Or is she?

Elena Rossi works two jobs just to keep the lights on, haunted by the half-a-million-dollar debt her father left behind when he vanished. By day, she sells books. By night, she dances as "Scarlett," saving every crumpled dollar to survive. Her world of quiet desperation shatters when Dante Moretti walks out of the shadows. He's handsome, dangerous, and knows things about her that no one should-from the secrets of her father's disappearance to the silent tears she cries when she's alone. He claims he wants to protect her, calling her his "investment." But his protection feels like a cage, his obsession like a brand on her soul. Dante is a man tied to a brutal criminal underworld, a world that seems to be the source of all her problems. To pay her father's debt, she might have to give up her freedom. To survive, she might have to trust a man who could be her savior or her damnation. But as she's drawn deeper into his world of violence and secrets, she discovers the most dangerous debt of all might be the one her heart owes to him.
