BlurbIsabella Rossi's life has never been her own. Gentle and fragile, she nevertheless comes beneath the thumbs of her dominant patriarch, whose aristocratic family traditions are decaying. When her father's business empire is in imminent danger of collapse, he does the unthinkable: arranges her marriage to Damian Blackwell, a ruthless billionaire known for icy and calculating methods. A man of ruthless vengeance, he was feared in both the boardroom and covered streets, for he simply did what had to be done to those who had wronged his family all the years ago.This marriage is merely a tool of revenge—one way to destroy Isabella's family from within. With the bewildered, barely aware Isabella stepping into his power-filled and rich world, the pawn unwittingly becomes an all-important part of some hidden, greater intrigue. Isabella becomes trapped between her loyalties—her loyalty to her father, and her rising attraction to the dangerous man who now owns her. Will she succeed in getting out of the man while also dealing with betrayals, deceptions, and secrets? Will she rule the darkness, or will she slip into the binding ties of blackness?
