I was hours from marrying a man I didn't love when masked men stormed my bridal suite.
I woke on a private jet in a ruined wedding dress. The man sitting across from me — cold eyes, scarred jaw, dangerous calm — told me I was collateral. My fiancé owed his family a debt. I was the price.
He locked me in a Sicilian palazzo with golden light, jasmine-scented gardens, and no way out. I should have hated him. I should have been planning my escape.
Instead, I started craving our dinners on the terrace. The way he played piano at midnight like a man confessing sins. The way he looked at me — not as a hostage, but as the first real thing he'd ever seen.
He was my captor. My protector. My undoing.
But when his family demands a price I can't pay, I have to decide — run from the man who stole me, or fight for the one who set me free?
