What happens when you're the most precious daughter of a Mafia kingpin one moment, and the next, you find yourself in an underworld black market, about to be auctioned off like cattle to a bunch of dangerous Dons like your father?

This was the situation Lucrezia found herself. 

Born in a crime world that was against her personal values, she finds herself learning to accept things she never believed would be normal for her.

By day, she was a surgeon, saving lives with good hands and a disciplined heart but by night, she was the daughter of the most feared Mafia Don in Montoverra, a city ruled by violence and blood-stained power.

However, everything shatters the night her father is executed in their mansion.

The Alexandro estate is betrayed and destroyed, sending the underworld into chaos and being the only child of the mafia king, Lucrezia is captured.

When she wakes up, she finds herself in the black market her father once controlled, thrown onto an auction stage like property.

Just when she is almost sold to an old man thrice her age, 

"One billion dollars!" Someone bids an outrageously high price for her, breaking the black market's records.

She barely sees the buyer right there, only a pair of dark eyes trained on her and she is quickly brought to a mansion, twice the size of her father's estate. 

No one in Montoverra had an estate bigger than her father's so who was this mysterious man?

She had expected torture, degradation and death but Instead, she finds something worse.

Her captor is Maverick Vale—the new Don and godfather of the criminal world…

But also the boy her father once adopted...only he no longer served her– he owned her.

Now trapped inside the enemy’s mansion, Lucrezia must survive the man who bought her while uncovering the truth behind her father’s assassination.

Because in this world, love is a weakness…

And the most dangerous thing a Don can desire…

Is the daughter of a past mafia king, whose blood lies in his hands.

There was no more awkward situation that the one Maverick and Lucrezia found themselves.


Now that all the tension was gone and Gavin was fine, Lucrezia could feel her memories remind her of what happened the last time in the car.


Strangely, right now though, she didn't feel prude or shy about it. She was rather embracing the things she felt that day and dare she say she actually wanted to feel it again.


'No!' She reprimanded herself, back to fighting between her reasonable judgement and what her body craved.


From the corner of her eyes, she could see Maverick watching her but she didn't meet his gaze.


There was something sinister in the way he watched her and she didn't know why it made her legs shake.


"I-" she spoke suddenly, drawing his and Jace's attention.


Jace instantly sent her a glare from where he stood beside the Don, as if he could remember the last time she said this and vanished for 30 minutes, forcing him to go looking for her.
