I’ve always hated winter. This year when it comes, I’ll belong to them. When you sign your soul over to the devil, there are no take backs. I knew the terms of the contract when I signed it. For one year, my life isn’t mine. For one year I am to obey, to be seen not heard. For one year I’m theirs, mind, body, and soul. The bodyguard. The fixer. The maniac. The boss. Four men on a path to ruin me. I may be theirs for a year, but the damage they plan on doing to me will last a lifetime. That’s if I even survive, because between the family and their enemies, the odds of me even making it past the end of winter are low.

I once thought Spring was beautiful, until they bathed me in it’s ugliness. Three months have already changed my life, the next nine just may destroy me. Flowers are supposed to bloom in the spring, but this flower is dying. This girl is withering as the Costa Family pluck my petals, covering them in blood, regret, and malice. What becomes of a flower once all of its petals are gone?

We weren't ready for the fall... Deception, lies, betrayal... We're finally in the end game and only Giovanni knows what awaits us on the other side. The men who've kept me prisoner for almost a year now are the last ones I expected to side with. But with the truth about my father and mother laid out in front of me, I won't be able to get revenge without them.
