One father's debt. One mafia boss. One girl’s fight to survive. Lilith Cavallo lives a quiet life helping her father in their family bakery—until the day she’s ripped away and delivered into the hands of Tristan De Luca, the ruthless and dangerously alluring mafia kingpin her father owes a fortune. As collateral, Lilith becomes Tristan’s captive—stripped of freedom, dignity, and choice. Thrust into a world of power, deception, and twisted desire, she is forced to navigate the treacherous dynamics of the De Luca estate, including the scornful eyes of Tristan’s jealous lover and the quiet sympathy of his right-hand man, Camren. But Lilith refuses to break. Hatred burns where desire dares to grow. Secrets unravel. Loyalties are tested. And when an unexpected pregnancy threatens to change everything, Lilith must decide: will she surrender to the man who stole her innocence—or find a way to reclaim her life, even if it costs her heart? In this dark romance of power and passion, love isn't the only thing forbidden… survival is.
