Antonio Rodriguez reigns as the ice-cold mafia king—his heart buried beneath betrayal and ambition. When Isabella Albero is auctioned to him by her own father, her world shatters overnight. Desperate for freedom, she plots to buy herself back… unaware that Antonio has already become obsessed with her. But Isabella is no helpless pawn. She's fierce. Resilient. And refuses to belong to anyone. As desire clashes with control, the tension between them ignites—dangerous, addictive, and impossible to ignore. Just as she begins to break through his icy walls, her vengeful ex steps out of the shadows, ready to claim what he believes is his. Will Isabella finally break free from her past— or uncover a truth powerful enough to destroy them both? "I own you, Isabella. Every little part of you has my name on it," Antonio taunted. "If I ever see you with another man… I'll make you watch as I slit his throat."
