"No sex," I stammered, but my nipples hardened against the silk robe as he watched. Marco chuckled darkly, stepping closer until I could smell his musk and expensive whiskey. "You're shaking, Sofia. Is it fear?" He brushed his thumb over my trembling lip, then trailed it down to my cleavage, hovering just above my aching breasts. "Or are you wet for the monster?" He didn't kiss me. He just let me burn in my own desire, sleeping on the couch while I touched myself, imagining it was his rough hands inside me.

Sofia’s life is brought to a halt when she's forced to marry Marco De Santis, a man that was rumoured to kill his first wife.
Her greatest fear is trading one prison for another and she's scared that she might not survive this one.
But as their marriage unfolds, she is drawn to him and questions where her loyalty lies.
Is it to her family or to Marco? Can she serve two masters at the same time and protect both parties?
When the truth about Marco's past begins to surface, does he succumb to the darkness that drives him or fight for their love?
