Isabella thinks she has finally made it.
A new life? CHECK!
A dangerously attractive man? Unfortunately, also check.
Emotional stability? ...still a work in progress.

Completely out of the blue, her sister shows up.
Surprise!
With the sight of her sister, memories come crashing down on her like a hurricane.
All of them. All at once. Suddenly, her entire life is back.
Sadly, that includes the one big reason why Isabella can't stay with Dante.

Without thinking, she says the one thing he warned her about from the start.
Dante's gaze? Pure hellfire.
His reaction? Freezing cold.

For a moment, Isabella has forgotten:
Dante isn't just a man.
Dante is the mafia.
The Mafia only knows one way to respond to rule-breaking.

What follows is not just drama?it's a full-blown war.
King versus Queen.
Isabella quickly realizes she's opened the game with the wrong side.

Dante shows her sides of himself that definitely don't fall into the "romantic" category.
Dark. Dangerous. Unyielding.
(And, frustratingly, he remains far too attractive in the process.)

Between the sharp verbal sparring, calculated moves, and a love that refuses to die, one thing becomes clear:
This is no game. It is a battlefield.
Isabella is no longer just a player; she is a hostage.
Dante's hostage.
