When my father ordered me to kidnap Isabella Rossi, the sheltered princess of a rival family, it should have been break her, then use her to lure her brother to his death.
But Isabella doesn't break, she fights back with a fury that sets my cold blood on fire. She looks at me like she can see past the monster to what's left of the man inside.
Now I'm learning the taste of her defiance, the sound of her gasps in the dark, the way her skin feels like salvation under my scarred hands.
Now keeping her alive isn't about orders anymore. Soon I realize I'd burn my father's empire to ash, massacre anyone who tries to take her, and damn myself a thousand times over just to keep her safe.
Isabella
He stole me from my gilded cage and dragged me into a world of blood and bullets.
Marco De Luca is a man whose hands have ended more lives than I can count. He should terrify me,but he also makes me feel for the first time. He doesn’t treat me the way my father locked away, protected, suffocated, treated like a fragile doll instead of a woman with fire in her veins. He teaches me to shoot, to fight, to survive, and at night those same deadly hands show me pleasure I didn't know existed.
He worships my body like I'm something sacred. I know I'm falling for my captor, and I know I should run. But when he looks at me like I'm the only real thing in his blood-soaked world, all I want is to stay, to be his, to be the reason he finally chooses something worth living for instead of just surviving.
