Tainted deal

She took the deal to save her brother. She didn’t expect to sell her soul.

Angela’s life is in free fall. Her little brother is dying, her parents are gone, and survival is all that matters. So when a powerful man ‘Lorenzo’ offers her a dirty way out—spying on Italy’s most dangerous mafia family in exchange for the money to save Jace, she says yes. No questions. No hesitation. One rule: Get close to Matteo De Luca.

Unfortunately he’s Cold. Calculated. Dangerous.

But Matteo doesn’t fall for pretty faces and fake tears. He sees right through Angela from the moment she walks into his world… and rather than expose her, he makes her an offer of his own:

Marry him.

Now, she’s trapped in a gilded cage with a man who’s every bit as ruthless as he is sinfully magnetic. He touches her like he owns her. Looks at her like he knows every lie she’s ever told. And with each slow stroke of manipulation, he’s unraveling her—body, mind, and soul.

Angela thought she could play him.

But Matteo’s been playing her from the start.

And in his game, desire is a weapon… and hearts are made to be broken.
