Maya Woods had built half her life on hatred—hatred for the Cassandros, the family that destroyed hers without a second thought. She'd never met Dario Cassandro, but she didn’t need to. As the face of the Cassandro empire, he was the one pulling the strings now, the one who deserved to suffer the most. For years, she gritted her teeth as she took care of her sickly sister. For years, she dreamt of revenge. But fate had other plans. For when Maya stumbled upon a deadly secret, she became a target in a game far more dangerous than she ever imagined. And the only man who can protect her? Dario Cassandro himself. Trapped under his roof and forced into his world, she refused to see anything but the villain she’d spent years hating. But Dario was not one to back away from a challenge, he will own Maya in the darkest way possible even if meant breaking her. However, with danger closing in from all sides and red-hot desire igniting between them, Maya must make a choice: would she fight against the man she’s always hated or embrace the possibility that redemption lies within the very heart of her enemy?
