Stolen in gunfire. Bound by the past. Trapped with the man she swore to hate.
Celia Vitelli was never meant to be tamed. A wild spirit suffocated by the iron grip of her ruthless father, she drowned her pain in parties, strangers, and reckless nights. But when he finally locked her down—forcing her into a loveless marriage to one of his powerful allies—she thought she had no way out.
Until the church doors burst open in a hail of bullets.
Roman Ivanov was never meant to love. As the cold and calculating head of the Bratva, he built his empire with blood and betrayal. But Celia was always his weakness—the only woman who ever made him feel human. And when he lost her, he made a vow: one day, he’d take back what was his.
Now, she’s his prisoner. Taken from one cage and thrown into another. She hates him for stealing her choices, for leaving her all those years ago. But Roman doesn’t care. He’s waited too long, bled too much, and killed too many to lose her again.
As old enemies close in and dark secrets unravel, Celia is faced with a terrifying truth—Roman Ivanov may be the only man who can truly set her free.
