“You’ve never tasted darkness like this—brutal, heartbreaking, and mercilessly addictive.”
Sold by my own father to Lorenzo Vitali—a man carved from violence and draped in cruelty—I became a prisoner in a gilded cage, bound by chains heavier than steel.
He demands an heir. His touch burns, unravels, consumes. I should hate him. I should fear him.
But it’s not the demand that terrifies me.
It’s him.
There’s a darkness in Lorenzo—seductive, merciless, and impossible to escape.
Every glance pulls me deeper into the abyss. Every stolen breath blurs the line between loathing and longing.
And my heart, the traitor, begins to beat for the very man who holds it hostage.
But men like Lorenzo don’t just break women like me.
They destroy.
Devour.
Erase.
And I refuse to be another name lost to his darkness.
