For six years, Lucia Romanova has lived as a prisoner in the gilded Boston cage of Viktor Mikhailov, the ruthless head of a Russian crime family.
With her twenty-fourth birthday approaching and a forced marriage looming, one unexpected opportunity gives her the chance to run.
Marco Catenzio finds her first.
Controlled, calculating, and dangerously powerful, Marco commands his own corner of Boston’s criminal underworld.
He offers Lucia protection—but he has secrets of his own.
His twin brother, Gio, is everything Marco isn’t: warm, charming, and determined to remind Lucia what it feels like to live without fear.
Inside the Catenzio estate, Lucia discovers more than safety.
She finds a family, unsettling truths about her mother, and an inheritance powerful men are willing to kill for.
She also finds herself drawn to two brothers who have always shared everything—until loving her raises the stakes higher than ever.
But as rival crime families close in, protection begins to look dangerously like possession. Lucia escaped one cage already.
This time, she intends to decide for herself whom to trust, whom to love, and where she belongs.
