Gabriella never asked for this life—kidnapped, married off to a ruthless mafia don, and locked away like a pawn in a dangerous game.* Salvatore Carmine is cold, powerful, and unreadable. He claims it’s about her father’s debt, but nothing makes sense—not the sudden marriage, not his distance, and definitely not the secrets he keeps. Trapped in a mansion full of silence and shadows, Gabriella craves freedom—but what she finds is betrayal, heartbreak, and a twisted kind of love that feels just as dangerous as it is addictive. When another man offers her warmth and escape, she thinks she’s finally found a way out… until everything crashes. Lies. Setups. Obsession. A kiss that shouldn’t have happened. And a love she can’t seem to escape—even if it destroys her. In this dark romance of power, revenge, and aching vulnerability, Gabriella must choose: stay a prisoner to love—or fight for her own survival.
