"YOU'RE MINE NOW, THAT'S NOT NEGOTIABLE!" Selena Rodriguez was nothing but collateral, sold by her own father to settle a gambling debt. Just as Marcus and his men were about to drag her into the dark, Devano Alister stepped in and paid it all off. Not to save her, because he wanted her. "I didn't lend the money. I bought you. And what's mine, I keep." Forced into marriage and locked away in his Manhattan penthouse, complete with a forbidden west wing and a wedding ring engraved with the words Mine. Forever, Selena realizes she isn't a wife. She's a prisoner with a title. Every move she makes is watched. Every outside connection severed. Devano never lets her stray far, not even in her own thoughts. Then comes a warning, the man who claims her is "The Architect," the mastermind behind the very disaster that destroyed her life. What does Devano really want from Selena? Love... or something far darker?
