Elena Voss never asked to be taken.
One night in Sicily, a powerful mafia boss named Luca Ferrante kidnaps her and makes a single, brutal offer: stay with him for 365 days. In that time he will own her body, her time, and her resistance. If she falls in love with him before the year ends, she can stay. If not, he will let her go.
What begins as captivity quickly becomes something darker and more consuming. Luca does not ask for permission. He takes what he wants—slowly, thoroughly, and without apology. Elena fights him with every weapon she has, even as her body starts to betray her and the line between hatred and hunger blurs.
In a world of violence, jealousy, and absolute control, Elena must decide whether survival means escaping the man who stole her… or surrendering to the only person who has ever made her feel completely claimed.
