He ruled Chicago’s dark underworld with an iron fist.
She was the trauma nurse who stitched his wounds at gunpoint.
When Gabriel Moretti collapsed bleeding in a dark alley, Maya Vance didn't flinch. She patched up the city’s most ruthless Don and told him to shut up. But saving a monster always comes with a price.
To shield her brother from a syndicate hit list, Maya is forced into a dangerous game: pose as Gabriel’s fiancée and step into the velvet-lined cage of his compound.

Surrounded by corporate warfare, rival families, and sudden betrayals, Maya refuses to bow to anyone—especially her fake fiancé. But the greatest threat isn't the bullets flying outside... it's the hyper-possessive Don who looks at her like she’s the only thing in Chicago worth owning.
He claims she’s just a bargaining chip.
She swears she’ll never surrender.
In a war built on blood and loyalty, obsession is the most dangerous weapon of all.
