I promised I’d never be the one to put her in a cage…
Amara
My life has never been my own.
All I want is freedom from my father’s control.
The last thing I want is to marry into the mafia like every other girl in my family, but Papa has made it clear I have no say in my future.
So maybe I party too much and break curfew just to push his buttons when we move to a new city.
It’s reckless, I know.
And that’s how I meet him…
Luka
There’s a new family in town, overstepping the organization’s boundaries.
As my father’s sovietnik I must advise him on how to rid the city of the outsiders.
But I never expected to meet her.
Amara Amato is sweet, gorgeous, innocent… everything my life isn’t.
But her Italian mob father doesn’t realize he’s dealing with the Bratva now.
I want to help her escape, but the more I’m around her, the more I want her for myself.
With our families at war and Amara as the pawn I realize there is only one way out for us.
Teach her to hate me.
