Zariah Noelle Vann never wanted to get married, especially not to the cartel heir who just tried to use her as a pawn.
On the night of her forced wedding, betrayed and covered in blood, she runs away with nothing but her heels on and a ripped designer gown… crashing into a stranger’s penthouse.
Alaric Benedetti is a Mafia billionaire, infamous arms dealer and a cold blooded killer with zero patience for lies of any sorts.
But when Zariah stumbles into his suite during his private birthday party, he mistakes her for the escort he hired to entertain him.
She plays along to stay alive and He plays rough because he likes the way she begs.
But what was meant to be one night turns into an obsession.
And when he finds out who she really is...
HE. DOESN’T. LET. HER. GO.
Zariah may think she just escaped one mafia, but she just got claimed by its king.
