The Cost Of Surrender Antonio has ruled the underworld for decades.
A feared mafia boss with a trillion dollar empire, he operates between legitimacy and bloodshed, respected by allies and hunted by enemies. Violence is his language. Control is his law. Love has never been part of the equation except for his nine year old daughter, Ava, the only weakness he allows himself.
When Ava is injured in a simple accident, Antonio brings her to a hospital in the States where he meets Dr. Minah Williams.
Minah is everything his world isn’t: calm, brilliant, compassionate. A doctor in the middle of a brutal divorce, she’s spent years surviving an abusive marriage to a powerful AI specialist who discarded her for a famous model only to become dangerously obsessed when she finally begins to move on.
Unlike everyone else, Minah speaks to Antonio without fear.
And unlike anyone before her, Antonio listens.
As an instant yet restrained connection forms, two dangerous worlds collide. Antonio’s enemies begin to circle. Minah’s ex hires investigators, stalking her from the shadows, unable to accept that another man one far more powerful has entered her life.
Protection turns possessive. Desire turns deadly.
And Minah is forced to confront the truth:
Surrendering to Antonio may cost her the life she built…
but refusing him could cost her everything.
Because loving a demon always comes with a price.
