Her life turns upside down when debts linked to her late father reveal ties to Adrian De Luca—a man burdened with the weight of his mafia family’s legacy. Adrian's gripping authority and unyielding demeanor conceal myriad secrets, as Sienna is thrust into a chess match where survival demands more than she ever imagined.
