Synopsis
He gave me a ring. Then set a man on fire. When my uncle forced me to marry Ares Kastaris, the ruthless new Don of the Greek mafia, they expected tears. Expected fear. But I felt nothing. Because long before this, when my family was taken from me, I stopped feeling anything at all. And Ares can't bring back what's already buried in ash. But this powerful, possessive, and dangerous man won't stop until I'm fully his – mind, body, and soul. Ares doesn't look away from my broken pieces. He sees every wall I've built and breaks through them, making me feel things I never thought I would. Now I'm part of his empire. Claimed by a man I didn't ask for, but who might be the first to ever see me. The real me. And when betrayal rips me away from him, we finally understand why we were brought together. Ares won't negotiate. He won't stop. He'll tear the world apart to bring me back into his arms.
