The Underboss
Ruthless Empire Series Book 3
He claimed my innocence years before. Now, he’s determined to take all of me.
Once upon a time I was betrothed to a vile man, a contract negotiated by my father on my eighteenth birthday. Yet, I refused to comply, running away and into the path of an even more dangerous yet breathtaking savior with eyes the color of the Aegean Sea.
Francesco Arturo was everything fantasies were made of. Tall, dark, and handsome, he swept me off my feet, exuding passion in every breath he took. And so, I decided to give him the one thing I still had control over. My innocence.
Then I disappeared.
Ten years later, considered tarnished goods, my father finally found another suitor. Little did he know the man I was supposed to marry had a ruthless enemy hell bent on revenge. As fate would have it, while confessing my sins, my mysterious first love re-entered my life. The electricity and recognition instantaneous, as soon as he learned my identity, his reaction was swift. Suddenly, I found myself his prisoner.
Torn between desire and hate, with every harsh round of discipline, every intense climax, I give more of myself to the man I thought I’d lost. But with every fairytale, a nightmare lurks in the darkness, ugly secrets threatening our union. Yet my dark savior refuses to be denied.
That’s when I knew, he captured more than just my body. He claimed my heart as well.
