Owned by vengeance
Five years ago, Celine Russo ran from New York and never looked back after her boyfriend, Salvatore Moretti, destroyed her family’s empire and sent her father to prison. He tried to explain but she refused to listen. With her stepsister’s voice in her ear and betrayal in her chest, Celine disappeared from his life forever.
One month later, she discovered she was pregnant with his child.
Now, years later, her daughter is dying.
A congenital heart defect. A donor heart waiting. Three weeks to raise millions she doesn’t have.
Desperate and out of options, Celine returns to the one man she swore never to see again. The man who ruined her family. The father of her child who doesn’t know she exists.
Salvatore agrees to pay for the surgery, but on one condition.
For six months, Celine will become his fiancée.
Living in his home. Wearing his ring. Playing the role of the devoted future wife in public to secure a powerful alliance with a rival mafia family.
But as old wounds reopen and dangerous truths surface, Celine learns that the story she believed for five years was built on lies. Her father’s betrayal runs deeper than she ever imagined, and the man she hated may have been the only one trying to save her.
Now the past is catching up with them. And this time, it’s not just her life on the line.
