My father orders me to seduce a man most people are too afraid to even look at. Georgi Torrisi. Head of the Torrisi family and a Cosa Nostra Capo.
A brutal and powerful man who rules his world with violence and absolute control. And I’m supposed to make him want me.
Turns out my father thinks he can use Georgi to get to Atanas Petkov, our family’s sworn enemy.
If Atanas continues to grow in power with Georgi’s help, it will mean the end of my father’s reign of terror, and I’m the bait meant to make one of the most dangerous men in New York lower his guard.
Do I have a choice? No. Hours later, Georgi Torrisi is chained in my father’s basement while the man I helped betray is beaten and tortured.
My already messed-up life takes a turn for the worse, because I didn’t expect the guilt. I didn’t expect the way his eyes still burn when he looks at me.
And I definitely didn’t expect myself to unlock the chains and set him free. The moment Georgi walks out of that basement, he turns into a violent monster that’s out for revenge.
Once the hallways of my family home are painted red, he takes my daughter and me with him. There’s no running. No hiding.
And now all I can do is pray I survive being at the mercy of the man I betrayed.
