Dante, the man I should have married. He still wants me.
Christian, my bodyguard, the man my husband uses to ensure my life unfolds to his exacting standards. He despises me.
They’re brothers, separated by circumstances and my husband's ruthless power plays.
They claim they want to liberate me. Can I trust them? Or am I just a pawn in the games of made men, collateral in their quest for revenge?
They’re willing to go to any length to get me.
I might not survive if they fail.
The bitter truth: My heart might not survive if they do.
