"Why are you doing all this?" Ellis asked. "Once you told me that I couldn't buy it, " Vittorio recalled, holding out his pen to Ellis. "Well, look what I just did: I bought the lady for half a million dollars." --------------- All Ellis Barker was longing for was to pay the last mortgage payment on the house she and her brother, Jason, inherited, and thus close her brother's debts. At least until the young woman arrived at the bank and her destiny crossed paths with Vittorio Amorielle, a mobster who will spare no effort to get what he wants, and from that moment on, that was Ellis. And it was thanks to Jason's debts that Vittorio was able not only to buy Ellis, but to marry her. But will they be able to deal with the consequences of this union?

Catarina Piromalli est devenue un nom à la fois redouté et vénéré. Première femme à diriger la Camorra, elle règne sur Gioia Tauro sous le blason de la famille Contini — impitoyable, imbattable et enceinte d'un homme qu'elle croit mort. Elle a bâti son empire sur le sang et la stratégie, jurant de se venger de tous ceux qui ont détruit son passé, en particulier les Mancuso. De l'autre côté de la guerre, Dante Mancuso est sorti de l'ombre et est devenu le nouveau Don de sa famille, le bras droit de l'impitoyable Don Miguel, le capo ditutti capi de la Ndrangheta. Pour lui, Catarina est morte dans le feu croisé de la trahison. Et maintenant, elle n'est plus qu'un obstacle à éliminer : la femme qui dirige le territoire qu'il a juré de reprendre au nom de son père assassiné. Au milieu du chaos, des alliances brisées, des exécutions brutales et des territoires ensanglantés, aucun d'eux ne réalise que leur plus grand secret est sur le point d'exploser : Catherine porte le fils de Dante, héritier des deux mafias les plus puissantes d'Italie. Lorsque le destin les remet face à face, est-il trop tard pour l'amour ? Ou trop tôt pour le pardon ?

Élevée parmi les montagnes paisibles de Pedesina, en Italie, Donna Amorielle est la seule fille de Don Vittorio Amorielle et d’Ellis Barker, un couple forgé dans le feu de la mafia et d’un amour improbable. Loin des rues chaotiques de New York, elle a grandi aux côtés de ses frères — Jake, Marco et Jason — sous le poids d’un héritage qu’elle ne pourra jamais revendiquer et l’ombre d’un destin qu’elle refuse d’accepter. Prise entre le sang mafieux qui coule dans ses veines et la détermination américaine héritée de sa mère, Donna ne veut pas être simplement la fille d’un don, ni une pièce dans un jeu d’alliances. Elle veut davantage : elle veut choisir qui elle sera. À 25 ans, Donna confronte son père, le redouté Don Vittorio, exigeant une chance de retourner aux États-Unis et de tracer son propre chemin. Réticents, Vittorio et Ellis cèdent, croyant que la distance les protégera du passé qu’ils ont laissé derrière eux. Mais ce qui commence comme une quête de liberté se transforme rapidement en une plongée périlleuse dans les eaux troubles de la mafia. Sur le sol américain, Donna découvre que les péchés de ses parents résonnent encore, et de vieux ennemis sont prêts à réclamer une dette dont elle ignorait l’existence. Déterminée à prouver sa valeur, elle devra choisir : se battre pour le nom Amorielle ou le réduire en cendres pour construire le sien. Une histoire de loyauté, de vengeance et d’autodécouverte, Donna parle du prix du pouvoir et du courage de défier le destin — même lorsque le sang parle plus fort.

« Pourquoi fais-tu tout ça ? » demanda Ellis. « Une fois, tu m'as dit que je ne pourrais pas t'acheter.. », rappela Vittorio en rendant le stylo à Ellis. « Eh bien, regarde ce que je viens de faire : je t'ai achetée pour un demi-million de dollars. » _____ Tout ce qu'Ellis Barker désirait, c'était payer la dernière échéance de l'hypothèque de la maison qu'elle avait héritée avec son frère Jason, et ainsi régler les dettes de son frère. Du moins, jusqu'à ce que la jeune femme arrive à la banque et que son destin croise celui de Vittorio Amorielle, un mafieux qui ne ménagera aucun effort pour obtenir ce qu'il veut, et à partir de ce moment-là, c'était Ellis. C'est grâce aux dettes de Jason que Vittorio a non seulement pu acheter Ellis, mais aussi l'épouser. Cependant, seront-ils capables de faire face aux conséquences de cette union ?
