Her bowling alley was supposed to be safe—a place she built with her own hands, far away from her father’s mess. But one night changes everything. An attempted robbery leaves her unconscious, only to wake up in the mansion of Ashton Walden, the boy she once knew and the man who now runs New York’s most feared mafia family.
Ashton isn’t offering comfort. He’s offering terms. Her business, her freedom, and maybe even her heart all hinge on a deal he calls an “arrangement.” One wrong move could mean losing everything she fought to create.
But danger isn’t the only fire burning between them. And as lines blur, the question becomes: will their cruel arrangement destroy her, or bind her to him forever?
