I was raised to be a ruler of two worlds. One with a pen. One with a knife. Be the king of the concrete jungle at all costs. I should've simply taken a queen, not courted one. I should've forced her submission, not earned it. I should've let respect be enough, not fall in love. Someone has made a grave mistake in coming for my company. For my throne. For my Mia Bella. And for that, they will not only meet the man I was raised to become, but the one I am now, for the only woman I will ever bow to.

For there is no cost that is too great. For there is no sacrifice that is too sizeable. I am a different man because of the only woman I'll ever love. And that man is more dangerous than anyone could've ever predicted.

I’m terrified of what he’ll do to me if he wins me...until the strangest thing happens.

Except I don't exactly receive the warm homecoming I expect.

But what will I have to trade him for it?
