The Devil's Bargain That Changed Everything
When Katerina's brother Leo steals a quarter million dollars from the Chicago mafia, her life changes forever. Dante Moretti-ruthless head of the Cosa Nostra-arrives at her door with an unexpected proposition: instead of killing her brother, he'll take her as payment. This isn't a romantic meeting. Kat fights back fiercely, throwing weapons and even punching Dante himself. Yet her defiance doesn't anger him-it fascinates him in a way he can't explain. "There was something about her that made me want to break her and protect her all at once," he reflects. Brought to his mansion not as a guest but as a prisoner, Kat immediately searches for escape routes. When she fearfully asks if he expects sexual services, his answer reveals the first glimpse of complexity beneath his ruthless exterior: "I don't force women," he tells her, though he ominously adds that his men might be different. This initial bargain-her captivity for her brother's debt-creates the foundation for a relationship that will transform both their lives in ways neither could have anticipated.
