Owned to Be Saved is a dark, emotional, and deeply compelling romance that hooks you from the very beginning. Gianni Andresano is the kind of hero you can’t look away from. He’s powerful, arrogant, and dangerous, yet every sharp edge hides a fierce devotion to the people he loves. His mission to avenge his grandmother’s honor adds a gripping layer of tension to the story, and the contrast between his ruthless determination and his unexpected tenderness toward Elodie makes him impossible not to root for.
Elodie Martin is a survivor in every sense. When her path collides with Gianni’s at an underground auction, the stakes are already sky-high. Her fear, strength, and resilience make her an instantly likable heroine, and watching her slowly open up again after trauma, betrayal, and heartbreak adds real emotional depth. Their connection is immediate and electric, but what makes the romance stand out is how it grows into something deeper, something neither of them expected or believed they could have.
The forced proximity at Gianni’s Italian villa creates the perfect setting for tension, longing, and vulnerability to unfold. Their chemistry is intense, the push-and-pull dynamic is addictive, and the slow rebuilding of trust gives the story a rich emotional core. The “you belong to me” energy is strong, but it’s paired with genuine protectiveness and the desire to heal rather than control. Every moment between them feels charged and meaningful.
The plot blends romance and suspense effortlessly. Evil is always lurking nearby, and the hidden enemies surrounding them keep the story fast-paced and engaging. The found family aspect is beautifully woven in, adding warmth and softness to a narrative filled with shadows, danger, and secrets. The Italian settings are lush, atmospheric, and immersive, giving the story an almost cinematic feel.
This book is perfect for readers who love Italian billionaires, morally gray heroes with a code, second chance passion, and alpha men who protect first and ask questions later. It delivers heat, heart, and high tension while still giving the romance space to breathe and grow. Although part of The Sinner’s Touch series, it stands strongly on its own and leaves you eager to dive into the next book.
