I was the girl he broke. Now I’m the woman he can’t escape.
Seven years ago, I vanished beneath blood and secrets.
Left behind the curvy, naive girl who thought monsters only lived in nightmares.
But monsters wear suits in this world.
And one of them wore my name like a curse.
Now he’s back—Gaspare Colosimo.
Don of the Colosimo Syndicate.
The same man who humiliated me, then watched my world burn.
The same man whose son I raised in silence.
He wants protection?
He wants power?
He wants me—in a fake marriage inked in blood and unfinished vengeance.
But I’m not the broken girl he remembers.
I’ve built walls from ash and thorns.
I’ve learned to survive in the shadows he cast.
He says he’ll burn the world to keep us safe.
But I know better.
Because men like Gaspare don’t fall in love.
They own. They possess.
And when they ruin you once… they don’t stop until there’s nothing left.
And the worst part?
I’m ready to let him.
