A debt paid in flesh.
A hostage with ninety days to become indispensable. A mafia kingpin who should be untouchable—until desire turns captivity into something far more dangerous.
Sasha Vetrov
has spent his life balancing other people’s lies with numbers that never blink. But when his family’s debt comes due, he’s handed over as
surety
to a ruthless port boss and given one brutal truth: survive the next ninety days, or become collateral no one bothers to reclaim.
Matteo Ferrante
didn’t build his empire by making sentimental mistakes.
The omega in his house is a bargaining chip, nothing more—until Sasha proves he’s far too sharp to be ignored.
In a world of hidden theft, whispered power plays, and men who mistake vulnerability for weakness, Matteo finds himself drawn to the one person he should keep at a distance.
And Sasha, trapped behind locked gates and impossible rules, realizes the most dangerous thing in the house may not be the
mafia
family holding him—it may be the slow, electric pull between captor and captive.
As suspicion tightens, loyalty fractures, and every glance starts to feel like a promise neither man can afford, their careful restraint begins to crack.
