He didn’t take her by force.
He took her by choice—and never planned to give her back.
Desire was never supposed to turn into obsession.
Sold into the world of a ruthless mafia king, she becomes collateral in a war she never agreed to fight. He is power, control, and danger wrapped in a man who doesn’t ask—he claims. In his empire, loyalty is enforced, emotions are liabilities, and love is weakness. She was meant to be temporary. Disposable. Silent.
But captivity changes everything. Fear hardens into defiance. Silence becomes strategy. And the more she resists him, the deeper his obsession grows. What begins as possession twists into hunger—raw, dangerous, and impossible to ignore. She is no longer just under his rule. She is inside his mind.
He never meant to care. Never meant to regret the way he took her life apart. But regret lives in his restraint, in the moments he chooses her over bloodshed. By the time he realizes she’s no longer his prisoner—but his weakness—it may already be too late to save them both.
Now she must choose: escape and shatter the only man powerful enough to protect her—or stay and risk becoming consumed by a love built on control, violence, and desire. Either way, someone will bleed. And the cost of wanting him may be her freedom… or her heart.
A dark mafia romance filled with obsession, power imbalance, moral tension, and dangerous devotion.
If you crave ruthless heroes, forbidden desire, and love that cuts as deep as it burns—this book is for you
