His Ruthless Captive

He stole her freedom. She vowed to destroy him. Neither expected to lose their hearts. Sophia Rossi has spent her life surrounded by power, betrayal, and bloodshed. As the daughter of one of the most feared crime families in the country, she knows one rule above all others: Trust no one. Especially not the ruthless stranger who crashes into her world, kidnaps her in the middle of a deadly attack, and locks her inside a fortress where escape seems impossible. Dante is everything she should hate—cold, calculating, and dangerously irresistible. He is a man whose name is whispered in fear, whose loyalty belongs to a criminal empire, and whose dark secrets could ignite a war between rival syndicates. He tells her he kidnapped her to save her life. She believes he's lying. Determined to escape, Sophia fights him at every turn. But the longer she remains his captive, the more she discovers that the greatest threat isn't the locked doors, the armed guards, or the enemies hunting them through the shadows. It's the undeniable attraction growing between them. As betrayal closes in from every side and a deadly conspiracy threatens to destroy both their families, Dante must make an impossible choice—protect the empire he swore to serve or risk everything for the woman he was never supposed to love. In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and love is the most dangerous weakness of all, one mistake could cost them everything. Some cages are built of steel. Others are built of desire. And escaping either may be impossible.
