I didn't choose to marry him. He chose me — and in Lorenzo Vitale's world, his word is law. One night. One debt my father couldn't pay. One decision that cost me my freedom and handed me to the most dangerous man in the country as his wife. Lorenzo doesn't do love. He does control. He rules his empire with cold precision and an iron fist, and I am simply his latest acquisition — a pawn in a game I don't understand yet. But I am not my father's debt. I am not a pawn. And the longer Lorenzo keeps me close, the more he realizes that the girl he thought he was controlling is quietly, deliberately, learning every one of his secrets. He married me to own me. He didn't expect me to own him back.
