To get my father to pay, he will do anything. That includes abducting me in order to get back at me.

Max Ferrara is a vicious Mafia prince and the monster of my darkest dreams, but he is not a monster because of his facial scars.

The majority of my father’s family was sent to prison by the mayor. I hold the key to his retaliation.

But his infatuation is sparked by my innocence.

We have an unmistakable chemistry, and I can’t help but be drawn to the broken criminal who lurks in the shadows and observes me.

I’m drawn to his suffering from a place deep within, and I find myself quickly growing dependent on his perilous presence in my life.
