He’s the enemy of my family—

And the first man to ever touch me.

One second, I’m walking down the aisle.

The next, I’m in a cabin with a mafia enforcer who looks at me like I’m already his.

Max Mastroni is cold. Brutal. Covered in scars.

So do the things he makes me feel.

I try to run.

I scream, I fight, I curse his name.

And sounds a lot like his voice in my ear, promising I’ll beg for more.

I was supposed to be a pawn in his war.

Now I’m the girl he’d kill to keep.
