I was born to be nothing more than a sacrificial pawn in the game my family plays. A toy to be used and then discarded as they move freely around the board. Now, after the mess my uncle made, my grandfather has given me to Mateo, the cruel and possessive head of the Italian family, as a peace offering. I hate him almost as much as I hate my own flesh and blood. There is only one way out for me now. Only one man who can save me from this prison. He rejected me once before, and I vowed I would never allow a man to touch me like that again. After all of the lies he told, can I trust him enough to save me from this hell? Or will he abandon me again to the fate my family has condemned me to?
