She expects a monster, but she doesn't expect the twisted, "dirty" chemistry that ignites between them. As the lines between captor and lover blur, Elara discovers a web of mafia betrayals that go deeper than a simple debt. In a world of silk and blood, she must decide if the man who bought her is the one who will finally set her free or destroy her completely.
