I thought the smoke from my fatherâs burning estate would be the end of my story, but it was merely the beginning of my descent.
Fire took my home, but he took everything else.
One moment I was a daughter, a heir, a woman with a future. The next, I was dragged into Cesare DâAcciaoâs world as payment for my fatherâs sins. His fortress is cold marble and locked doors, and I am the debt he intends to collect in full.
I should fear him. I should hate the way his eyes linger, the way his presence presses into my skin.
Instead, I feel myself unraveling under his control, pulled toward the very darkness meant to break me. Every touch steals another piece of my defiance, every look dares me to fall. If I donât escape his grip, I wonât just lose my freedom. Iâll lose myself to the man who burned my life to ash.
CESARE
Luciana Corsini was supposed to be nothing more than a transaction, a piece of flesh to balance the scales of her fatherâs betrayal. But the moment I dragged her from the wreckage, her fire hooked me deeper than any drug. She is the only thing Iâve ever wanted that I didn't have to kill to keep, a defiant beauty who challenges every ounce of my control.
For some reason, she tempts the part of me that should stay buried, the weakness Iâd kill in any other man.
I should have discarded her the moment the debt was settled, but she has become my most lethal obsession. She is my captive, my weakness, and my salvation all at once, and I will destroy anything, including her fatherâs legacy, to keep her bound to my side forever.
This is the first book in The DâAcciao Bloodline series. Reading order: The Price of Sin, The Stain of Sin, The Law of Sin.
