The Don's Collateral

Four million dollars stolen, ninety days on the clock, and the heavy turn of a brass lock sealing me into his brutal world. When mafia Don Dominic Castellane claims me as collateral for my brother’s debt, he promises I won't be harmed—only owned. Locked inside his isolated cliffside manor, every possessive glance and burning touch breaks down my defenses until I can no longer tell my captor from my savior. As a rival syndicate boss closes in and gunfire shatters the night, Dominic takes a blade to the chest to shield my life, bleeding over my hands while demanding my surrender. But hidden inside my father’s encrypted ledger lies a terrifying secret: Dominic was at the wheel the night my father died. Now trapped between the dangerous Don who owns my body and the lethal truth that could destroy us both, I must decide whether to burn his empire down or give him the one thing he wants—my total submission.
