Dragged from her ordinary life into the Romano Family’s fortress, Talia learns her lineage hides a rare, profitable secret—one that can tip a cartel war. Viktor, the ruthless Boss, makes it simple: sign the contract, wear the collar, and survive. Refuse, and disappear.
With Dominic’s brutal “discipline” and Leo’s cold, calculating games closing in, Talia is turned into a living symbol meant to secure loyalty, cash, and heirs. Every ritual tightens the net. Every public demand raises the stakes. But the Romanos make one mistake—they underestimate the woman they drag home.
Talia starts watching, learning, and planning. Because if she can’t escape their throne, she’ll rewrite who sits on it. In a world where devotion is enforced and desire is dangerous, she must choose: break under their rules… or become the force that brings their dynasty to its knees.
A dark, high-heat why-choose mafia romance with power games and taboo themes.
