TAKEN BY THE DEVIL
“BLURB She is an orphan. She was collateral-payment for a debt her uncle never intended to repay. Dragged into Don Rossini's glittering casino as leverage, Cleopatra thought she had reached the depths of hell. Forced to undress and take her bathe before him, she is uncomfortable. Until the night rival gunfire shattered the empire and she ran straight into the arms of something far worse. Desperate and terrified, she collided with a powerful stranger in the chaos. Not knowing who he was, she begged him to save her-offering anything, everything, to escape Rossini's grasp. Valentine Corenza didn't save her. He claimed her. From that moment, there was no escape. No mercy. No choice. In the opulent cage of glass and steel, Valentine keeps her as his. His gaze follows her like a shadow, his touch brands her, his presence consumes her. The ruthless shadow king rules her world with ice in his veins and fire in his possession. She belongs to him now-body, soul, and every fractured breath. Cleopatra is no longer collateral. She is his obsession. His prize. His captive. He will burn empires to keep what is his. He would take anyone out including his own family in order to save her. She tries all she could to keep calm the storms in her chest whenever he stands close to her. And she has no option of ever leaving the devil who answered her plea. The only question left is how long it will take before the line between fear and forbidden desire completely disappears.”
