She was sold to pay her father's debt. He bought her to own her. At 18, Sofia Giuliani had everything, beauty, innocence, and a future at Columbia. She was a swimmer, a dreamer, a good girl. Until her father gambled it all away. To clear his debt to the most dangerous family in New York, he offers the one thing they actually want. Sofia. Luca Gonzalez is 36. The Don. Cold, ruthless, devastatingly handsome. He doesn't do love. He does ownership. And when Sofia is handed to him in a white dress she didn't choose, he decides she will be his, in name, in bed, and in blood. She was supposed to be a trophy wife. Quiet. Obedient. Pure. In the world of the Gonzalez empire, betrayal is a sin and love is a weakness.
