They didn’t just steal me. They claimed me. One minute I’m frosting cupcakes and dodging my family’s dirty legacy. The next, I’m gagged and thrown in the back of a black SUV—sold off by my father to settle his debts. To them. Three men. Dean, Thoren, Gio. Enforcers. Monsters. Kings of the New York underworld. They call me collateral. Say I belong to them now. But I won’t be broken. I fight. I bite. I bake tiramisu just to survive the storm. Then something shifts. Their hands linger. Their eyes burn. They say I’m not just payment—I’m temptation. Now the real question is… Will I make it out before they ruin me? Or will I beg them to finish the job? Read on for a beautifully dark why choose romance steeped in power, obsession, and loyalty. And one woman caught in the middle of it all. This is a dark, dangerous ride with three ruthless men who don’t share well—except when it comes to her. If you crave high-stakes romance, morally gray kingpins, and a heroine who learns to take control in a world built to break her then step inside. But don’t expect to come out the same.
