Kane Romano is the most handsome, powerful man I’ve ever met. He’s also the man holding me captive. My asshole of a step-dad found himself on the wrong side of the mafia, and then offered me up in exchange for his life. How does he have the right? I’m 18 years old, and my step-dad doesn’t own me. The problem is, Kane Romano agrees. Everyone knows you don't fight with a Romano, unless you want to end up in an unmarked grave. I should be scared, but every time I look into those dark eyes, I feel safe and protected.

Madness is his forte, and I'm entrapped in his chaotic world. My life was good. I was about to start my senior year at brown, so I took a last-minute getaway with my best friends to Mexico. That is, until we're snatched on vacation and thrown into a nightmare we could never have imagined. Nothing could've prepared us for the darkness that awaited us. We find ourselves in a dangerous world dominated by Ileana Navarro, a cartel leader whose power is matched only by her cruelty. And that's when I met Taren.

He’s hiding a dark secret, one that will change my life forever. I shouldn’t be here. Forced to move school partway through my senior year. The Syndicate Academy is the embodiment of everything I hate. An academy for heirs of tyrants like my parents. I hate it here, except for one part, Principal Oakley Byrne. The most gorgeous man I’ve ever met, with piercing aquamarine eyes. He’s dark, brooding, and not your average Principal. I’m drawn to him by a magnetic force, but I repel him. Despite his cold treatment, I can’t help but tempt the beast to come out to play. An action I’ll soon regret.

Desperation drives me into the hands of a dangerous predator. I never should have considered auctioning off my innocence. The men who bid are the darkest kind, the ones you never want to encounter. And Malachy, the man who bought me, is no exception. He wins me, locking me away in his world. Selling my virginity takes on a whole new meaning, one I never anticipated. I expected one night with my buyer, but with Malachy McCarthy, I'm his possession until he decides otherwise. I'm nothing but a toy, a plaything for his amusement, until he grows bored.

Archer Daniels is the biggest flirt at the academy, and he’s determined to have me. Coach Daniels has a history of sleeping with students. Now that I’m in my senior year, he’s determined to add me to the list. I’d rather die than end up another notch in his bedpost. But the man is persistent to a fault. He’s not someone who gives up easily, pushing harder the more I reject him. I fear that Archer will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. A fear that quickly turns to reality as he digs up dirt about me I don’t want people to know.

I made a mistake, and now he wants to punish me. Everyone knows better than to steal from a Romano, but I was desperate. I was so close to getting away with it as well. I had one foot out the door, and I was hauled back into the club by security. When Leo Romano steps in to the office, I know I’m a dead woman. There’s no escape. They tied me to this chair, and I can’t get myself out. The look in his eyes sends shivers down my spine and it doesn’t help that Leo is drop-dead gorgeous.

Deceitful. Arrogant. Cold. Those are the three perfect words to sum up my husband to be. After little deliberation, my parents decide Isiah Darcy is the perfect suitor. He’s rich, British, and the perfect ally for the Benedetto family business. I can’t stand him, but they don’t care what I want. He’s stuck up and has little respect for women. Once we’re married, he makes it painfully clear I have no rights. I’m nothing more than a puppet. A way for him to get what he’s always wanted. Revenge on my family for something that happened years ago. My husband wants to tear my family apart.

My father is the mob boss of the Juliano Mafia—our family legacy. He has always been too ambitious for his own good, so much so that he does the unspeakable and crosses The Romano Mafia. I wasn’t even aware, until four men in black outfits and masks broke into my bedroom one evening and stole me. I’m my father’s princess, and he dotes on me—everyone knows that. They take me to Rick Romano’s office. The gorgeous, muscle-bound mob boss of the Romano mafia.

Cruelty is his middle name, and I'm at his mercy. My father has kept me locked away in an ivory tower. I thought he wanted to protect me, but he only wanted to protect his asset. An untouched, sheltered mob princess is worth a lot of money to the right buyer. My father's greed means Sicily is no longer big enough for him. I'm shipped across the Atlantic to Boston to marry a man I've never met, whose reputation for cruelty reaches as far as the shores of Sicily.

He has stolen me from my fiancé and claims I belong to him now. Piero Panarello was going to be my husband. Handsome. Charming. Rich. I’d started to fall for him until out of nowhere I’m stolen by his enemy. Cillian Hook. Equally handsome, but not so charming. He vows to take everything from Piero, starting with me. Cillian is ruthless and cold. He forces me down the aisle and takes me as his wife against my will. All I can do is hope Piero comes to save me. And yet, the longer I spend in this villain’s clutches, the more my grip on reality shifts.

Der Weihnachtsurlaub mit meinen beiden besten Freundinnen wird zu einem Albtraum, den ich nicht kommen gesehen habe. Aida und Gia haben mich gebeten, mit ihnen in Boston Urlaub zu machen. Meine Eltern sind in Hongkong unterwegs, also stimme ich zu. Vermutlich ist das die schlechteste Entscheidung, die ich je getroffen habe. Ich werde aus der Bar gezerrt, in der wir getrunken haben. Werde von einem von Milos Feinden gefangen genommen. Von dem russischen Bratva-Chef Mikhail Gurin. Er hält mich für Lösegeld fest, um Milo zu zwingen, von einem Geschäft zurückzutreten.

Die Verzweiflung führte mich in die Hände eines Wilden. Ich hätte nie erwägen sollen, meine Jungfräulichkeit zu versteigern. Die Art von Männern, die bieten könnten, sind die Art, die man nie treffen will. Dunkel, verdreht und gefährlich. Malachy ist da keine Ausnahme. Er kaufte mich auf der Auktion. Er nahm mich mit nach Hause und sperrte mich weg. Es stellt sich heraus, dass das Verkaufen deiner Jungfräulichkeit eine ganz andere Bedeutung hat, als ich dachte. Ich erwartete eine Nacht, und dann bin ich frei. Nicht, wenn es um Malachy McCarthy geht.

Als ich Fabio Alteri meine Meinung gegeigt hatte, hätte ich nie erwartet, dass der Besuch eine verbotene Wendung nehmen würde. Dann trafen sich unsere Blicke und es fühlte sich an, als hätte er meine Seele in Brand gesetzt. Er ist gefährlich. Er ist verboten. Und doch fühle ich mich unerklärlicherweise zu ihm hingezogen.

Grausamkeit ist sein zweiter Vorname, und ich bin ihm ausgeliefert. Mein Vater hat mich in einem goldenen Käfig gehalten. Ich dachte, er wollte mich beschützen, aber er wollte nur ein Auge auf seinen wertvollsten Besitz haben. Eine unberührte, behütete Mafia-Prinzessin ist dem richtigen Käufer eine Menge Geld wert. Die Gier meines Vaters führte dazu, dass Sizilien nicht mehr groß genug für ihn war. Ich werde über den Atlantik nach Boston verschifft, um einen Mann zu heiraten, den ich nie kennengelernt habe aber dessen grausamer Ruf bis an die Küsten Siziliens reicht.
