I mean to kill Don Salvatore and take the Gennaro empire, yet until that opening comes he owns me, and my younger brother’s safety depends on my obedience while I pretend to submit and quietly collect allies.
Shaw, the boy I wanted in high school, books me for a night and pays by the hour, but he treats me as though I am not for sale and talks about a civilian future I was never allowed to want.
Keeping him alive already has a price he will never see.
Renato, newly taken by the family, is reckless enough to show his hunger for me in front of the wrong people, and the gentle touch that makes me forget I am merchandise is harder to resist than his desire.
If Salvatore learns what either of them means to me before I move, he will force a gun into my hand and make me fire twice—because wanting both the man who offers a normal life and the man who craves the monster this family made of me could cost everything I have bled for.
