Lovino had never expected to fall in love with Felicia. She was the daughter of his enemy—the rival boss who had sworn to destroy him and his family.

He had kidnapped her as a bargaining chip—a way to force her father to back off, but her beauty and courage had captivated him somewhere along the way.

He knew he should let her go and end this madness, but he couldn’t. He wanted to make her his, to claim her as his own.

But how could he do that? How could he have a future with her when their families were at war?

He didn’t know the answers to these questions. He only knew that he had to try.
