She ran from the monster. Now he is coming to claim her.

Lily Bianchi never asked for a place in the mafia. Born to a mistress and raised in the shadows of Boston's criminal elite, she's only ever wanted a quiet life far from violence and control. When she accidentally stumbles upon a murder scene, she finds Damiano, the ruthless Boston mafia boss they call Il Demonio, standing over the body, bloodied knife in hand. From that moment on she becomes his obsession. As their paths tangle and his possessive desire threatens to consume her, Lily runs. But in doing so, she awakens the monster inside him-he is no longer just a man obsessed, but a predator willing to burn the world to the ground to chain her to his side, break her will piece by piece and make her body crave the very cage she swore she'd escape.

Lily will have to decide if surrendering to the darkness means losing herself...or finding out who she was meant to become all along.

He is her captor and her protector. Her monster.
