Damon Mondragon is a man who has never been denied. As the feared Mafia King, he rules through intimidation, loyalty, and absolute control. Emotions are weaknesses he buried long ago until a woman looks at him without fear, without admiration, and without desire.
Dr. Samantha Lopez wants nothing to do with Damon Mondragon.
A dedicated and principled physician, Samantha believes in distance, discipline, and professionalism. When fate forces her to treat Damon after a violent incident, she sees only a patient dangerous, arrogant, and morally corrupt. She refuses his money, rejects his influence, and shuts down every attempt he makes to pull her into his world.
That refusal ignites something dark.
Damon becomes obsessed not with her body, but with her resistance. With the way she stands her ground, challenges his authority, and treats him like a man instead of a king. For the first time in his life, something exists beyond his control, and Damon Mondragon cannot tolerate it.
Samantha tries to cut ties, but escape is not that simple. Damon watches from the shadows, intervening in her life under the guise of protection, tightening his grip without her consent. Every move blurs the line between obsession and possession, protection and imprisonment.
As enemies close in and danger creeps nearer, Samantha is dragged deeper into a world she never chose. She fights to protect her independence, her career, and her identity while Damon wages a silent war within himself, torn between letting her go and claiming her completely.
In a world ruled by violence and power, one truth remains. Damon Mondragon does not love gently.
And once his obsession begins, it does not end.
