I grew up a hostage.
Collateral in a blood-soaked deal between my father and the mafia.
For fourteen years, I was hidden in the shadows of the Giordano estate—unseen, unheard, and never free.
Until the night they went too far.
They kidnapped a girl and strapped her to the same torture chair I once bled in.
This time, I couldn’t stay silent.
I risked everything to free her.
I didn’t know she was the sister of Enrico Sartori—heir to one of New York’s most ruthless mafia families.
A man with a reputation carved in fear.
A man who doesn’t owe anyone.
But he owed me.
And he paid that debt with fire.
Now I’m under his protection.
In his fortress.
Wearing his name, even if it’s only temporary.
He says I’m safe.
That no one will ever touch me again.
But when Enrico looks at me, safety is the last thing I feel.
He’s cold fury wrapped in tailored suits.
Brutal. Possessive. Untouchable.
And when he calls me piccolina, I forget how to breathe.
But power in the mafia is never stable.
Enemies are closing in—some hiding behind blood ties, others behind thrones.
And I’m not just leverage anymore.
I’m a liability.
A distraction.
A weakness he can’t afford.
Now the man who swore to protect me may be forced to
His family.
Or me.
And in this world, love is the most dangerous gamble of all.
