Her father's gambling debts had consumed everything, her home, her future, her hope. When the loan sharks came knocking, she was faced with an impossible choice: sell herself to one man or be devoured by many. She chose the devil she didn't know. His name is Matteo Blackwood.

She will be owned by him. But she will not break. Because in the end, the devil doesn't just want her body. He wants her heart. And that might be the most dangerous thing of all.
