Sebastian Manchini is a monster dressed like a Greek god.
The city fears his name. Women beg for his touch.
And me? I was the unlucky one thrown straight into his world.
I’m Lily Garlo, a 22
year
old student who wanted nothing more than a simple life.
But on my first day at a new job, I walked straight into his office without knowing who he was.
He cornered me, stripped me off my clothes, and looked at me as if I was prey.
Everything after that became a nightmare.
My step brother’s debt to the Cosa Nostra turned into my prison.
One night I was dragged into a glittering party that turned out to be my own wedding…
to Sebastian Manchini.
I didn’t walk down the aisle. I was dragged into it.
He owned me.
He ruled me.
And with just a look, he could make me drop to my knees.
Then he died.
Or so I thought.
Months later, shattered by grief and a miscarriage, a baby I never realized I was carrying,
his younger brother Dante stepped in and became my only safe place.
I started to breathe again.
I started to feel again.
And then,
Boom.
Sebastian came back from the dead.
More dangerous. More ruthless.
And he’s come to claim me as his.
This time, there is no escape.
I am locked in his golden cage, trapped in his poisoned love…
and part of me still burns for the monster who ruined my life.
He was the mafia king, the sweet poison I never asked for, and the addiction I can’t escape…

He was the mafia king, ruthless, feared, and owed a bride.

My brother was drowning in debt. To save his own life, he sold me to the Cosa Nostra. To the man I was promised, Damiano Lombardi, the most dangerous man in New York Crime Family. But instead of accepting my fate, I ran-far, fast, and without looking back.

Years later, he finds me.

I thought he would kill me for dishonoring him. But Damiano doesn't want my death, he wants revenge, obedience... and me.

What began as a twisted marriage agreement becomes a dangerous obsession. Damiano Lombardi is no longer just the man I ran from. He's the one I can't escape-his touch, his fury, his love.

But in the shadows of our past, enemies wait. And in this world, love is not a sanctuary.

It's a weapon.

Damiano was nothing less than a greek god. Girls threw themselves at him and I thought I was nothing like them, but I was wrong.

"Are you going to kill me for betraying you?" I ask with with heart pounding against my chest.
He reaches close and grabs me by the neck and whispers in my ear, "Take off your clothes and spread your legs for me little bird."

This is a dark mafia romance with themes that may be disturbing to some readers.
