Escaping the Pawn, Ensnaring the Don

"My father sold me to a sixty-year-old monster to clear his gambling debts. So, I made a desperate gamble of my own."

Seventeen-year-old Isabella Rossi has two choices: become the broken plaything of a sadistic mafia Capo, or do the unthinkable. She chooses the latter. Sneaking into a high-end speakeasy, she slips an aphrodisiac into the whiskey of the deadliest man in New York—Damien Falcone, the ruthless Underboss of the Falcone family.

Her plan was simple: steal his seed, secure his protection, and run. But you don’t drug a predator and expect to walk away.

When Damien wakes up, he doesn’t kill her. Instead, he claims her. "You intercepted a delivery meant for my enemy. Turns out, it was you. Now, you are my Collateral."
