I kidnapped her to break her. Now, I'll do whatever it takes to protect her. In this business, you cannot afford to lose control. No emotions. No weakness. I've worked too damn hard building my mob empire to let one feisty little girl ruin everything. But Bella refuses to fall in line. I've pushed my prisoner to her limits, and yet she will. Not. Break. She takes every savage kiss . . . Every cruel touch . . . And asks me if that's all I have to offer. Breaking her down will require breaking a rule of my own: Never, ever fall in love. But when Bella's senator father doesn't follow orders like we expect, things get more complicated. I'll need her help to take my rightful place on the throne of the city. And more time with her by my side means unleashing something inside me that cannot be contained again. As our fates become entwined, betrayal barrels towards us. I'm forced to make an impossible choice: Do I follow my destiny to become the mob boss I was raised to be? Or do I sacrifice everything to save the woman who has stolen my heart? Contains mature themes.
