A debt must be paid. A Don must be satisfied. And a promise must be broken. Dante Volkov, head of the ruthless Volkov Syndicate, has his empire threatened by a rival family. To secure peace, they offer him their most valuable asset: their daughter, Valentina. Fierce, proud, and defiant, she agrees to the arranged marriage only to protect her father—but she vows to never let him touch her heart. Forced into a dangerous, intoxicating proximity, Valentina discovers the greatest threat isn’t the war outside… it’s the relentless, possessive monster she is bound to. And some debts… can never truly be paid.
