My father lost me in a poker game… and the man who won me won't even look at me.
They call Tommaso Rossi a monster. The scarred don who runs his empire from the shadows because his face makes grown men flinch. Now I live in his estate like a bird in a gilded cage.
He won't speak to me. He won’t look at me. But I see the way his hands shake when I get too close. I notice that he locks his bedroom door at night like he's the one who needs protecting from me.
The first time he touches me, he calls it a mistake.
The second time, he stops pretending.
But my father's debt has a second clause. One that says I am never meant to leave this estate alive.
They call him the beast. They should see what he'll do to keep me.
Tropes: mafia don • forced proximity • touch her and die • she tames the beast • fairytale retelling • dark romance
Genre: Romantic Suspense
