I’ve spent my life running, from debts I didn’t earn, from men who would tear me apart, from a world that wants to see me broken. But when the loan sharks finally caught me, I made a choice no one would dare: I offered myself to Marcus Vale, the most feared mafia Don in the country, as his mistress… in exchange for protection. Marcus is ruthless, dangerous, and intoxicating. Every glance, every touch, every command makes my blood burn and my body betray me. He’s possessive, dominating, and utterly unrelenting… and the more I try to resist, the tighter he pulls me into his world. But I’m not as weak as he, or anyone, thinks. There’s a wolf inside me that’s been waiting, a secret I didn’t know I carried, and a fire that could destroy us both. In his arms, I feel the danger and desire too strongly to look away. I’m his. He wants me completely. And I want him too. But I know once Marcus claims me, there’s no turning back.
