Sold like property. Used like a vessel. Erased like a stain. At only seven years old, Britney Harrison lost her parents in a mysterious fire. Shuffled into the cruel hands of her aunt and her gambling-addicted husband, she was treated as nothing more than a burden—until one desperate night changed everything. To repay a life-threatening debt, her uncle sold her off to the cold-blooded mafia overlord, Cassian Moretti, a man feared across Chicago for his power, ruthlessness, and underground empire. His wife, Vivienne, beautiful but barren and cruel, is obsessed with having children—and Britney is the perfect pawn in their twisted plan. Locked away beneath the Moretti mansion, stripped of her freedom and dignity, Britney is forced into a life of unimaginable torment, her only solace a kind-hearted old maid who risks everything to keep her alive. After birthing not one, but three children for the Morettis, Britney is betrayed one last time—and left for death. But death is not the end. It’s her rebirth. Six years later, she returns under a new identity: Avery Cruz—brilliant, powerful, and dangerously prepared. With the backing of a wealthy couple who rescued her, and the help of a sharp, young family doctor with secrets of his own, Britney is no longer the girl they discarded. The chains are off—and the womb they used will be the fire that burns their empire to the ground. Now she’s a woman with one mission: Burn the empire that burned her. Reclaim the children they stole. And make the Morettis pay—one cruel move at a time. But revenge is never simple.
