He came to collect a debt. He left with a woman. Dante Romano is the youngest Don in New York history. Ruthless. Calculated. Feared. Debts are sacred in his world, and Giovanni Marchetti is 2 million dollars behind. Dante doesn’t expect to find payment standing in a doorway. Bella Marchetti is innocent. A 23-year-old NYU art history student with emerald eyes, too much pride, and absolutely no idea what her father has done. She should be safe. She should be untouched. But the moment Dante sees her, the debt changes. In his world, everything has a price. And he’s decided Bella is his. Dragged from her normal life to the Romano estate, Bella becomes collateral for a debt she didn’t create. She should be terrified of the man who took her. The man who owns the city, and her future. But behind Dante’s cold eyes and dangerous touch is something she never expected: obsession. He took her by force. He’ll keep her by choice. And he’ll burn everything down before he lets anyone else touch her. As rivals circle and secrets about Bella’s family come to light, the line between captive and lover, fear and desire, begins to blur. Bella has two choices: escape the monster… or learn to love the man who claimed her. Because in Dante Romano’s world, once he claims something… It’s his. Alone.
