Clemenza Family Book 1
I used to be a mafia prince. Now I’m marked as prey.
Someone is systematically eliminating my Family bloodline, and I’m the last heir standing.
No money.
No allies.
No way out…except one.
An underground auction where the wealthy and the wicked bid on desperate, untouched men like me.
I expect to be sold to a stranger. Used and discarded.
Instead, I’m bought by a man with a two-decades-long vendetta against my dead father. A beast who drops ten million dollars to own me, then drags me home to a prison he built just for me.
He wants vengeance. He wants to break me. But I’m not as easy to break as he expects. And when danger follows me into his territory, he becomes something I never expected.
A protector.
A possessor.
He keeps me safe, even while he keeps me caged.
I’m starting to think the most dangerous thing isn’t being owned by him.
It’s wanting him to keep me…
