Durante a cerimônia de premiação da Competição Internacional de Design de Joias, a minha meia-irmã recebeu o grande prêmio, só que usando os designs que havia roubado de mim. E qual era o grande prêmio? Tornar-se a noiva do principal patrocinador da premiação, Jude Moretti, o Padrinho da família Moretti. Ele era um homem cruel e ambicioso, mas que acabou atingido por uma grande explosão e por isso diziam que ele não podia ter filhos. Naquela noite, os homens de Moretti, vestidos com seus paletós pretos, traziam um contrato de casamento todo cravejado a ouro. Eles buscavam a "artesã extraordinária". Meu noivo, Marco, entrou em pânico e fugiu com a Sandra às pressas para Vegas, eles se casaram naquela noite e ela foi salva. Com o ato consumado, Sandra retornou usando o meu vestido de seda, o pescoço cheio de marcas e exibindo um anel brilhante em seu dedo. — Agora, o Marco é meu. — Ela disse em tom de deboche. — O que você vai fazer, Odessa? O padrinho te deu apenas um dia para decidir. Se você não se casar, a Família vai pedir uma compensação e você terá que trabalhar em algum cortiço qualquer, ou quem sabe eles não te vendem para algum maluco com fetiches estranhos. Ela estava enganada, eu não tinha escolha. Mais cedo, eu encontrei meu pai e minha madrasta tendo dificuldades para lidar com aquele contrato. — Eu faço isso! — Eu disse. — Eu me caso com o Padrinho.

My body doesn't seem to care about rules when it comes to him. He can shove me, sneer at me, push me as hard as he wants, but it won't change the fact that I still want him. I want his attention. His mouth. His anger. I want to explore this newfound feeling and desire with him, and I'll make it happen no matter what.

C’est un monde où les secrets valent plus que l’or. Un monde où une ligne de code peut ruiner une vie, et où une balle peut la faucher en un instant.Je suis Lyana, une ombre, derrière un écran, une hackeuse de génie traquant les criminels les plus dangereux pour le compte d’une agence gouvernementale. Une trace de code qui disparaît aussitôt qu’il apparaît. Lui, c’est l’un d’eux. Un fantôme du crime organisé, un homme dont le nom ne figure sur aucun dossier officiel mais dont l’influence est tentaculaire. J’ai infiltré son empire numérique comme un fantôme, mais lui... lui, il m’a vue. Avant que je comprenne comment, j’étais dans sa cage dorée, sous sa surveillance, sous son contrôle. Je devais le faire tomber, par tomber amoureuse, ni à me donner entièrement à lui. Il était le danger, on m’a dit de fuir. J’ai choisi de rester. Il sait que je suis là pour le détruire. Et pourtant, il m’observe comme si j’étais la seule chose qui l’obsède. Ce jeu entre nous est un piège, et j’ignore encore qui tombera en premier.Ma mission était simple : le surveiller. Le piéger. Le livrer.Elias n’est pas le monstre qu’on me dépeint.Il est une cible. Une victime d’un complot bien plus vaste… et plus personnel. Je devais à tout prix prouver son innocence, pour qu’on puisse vivre notre histoire.Mais c’était plus complexe que je n’aurais imaginer, trop de mystère, et de secret à protéger… sans oublier, la soudaine disparition de ma sœur.La coupable ? Gabriella , mannequin célèbre, fille d’un homme puissant lié au crime organisé ... et folle amoureuse d’Elias. Prête à tout pour me briser.
