The Castellano family tradition is simple: arrive at the annual ball with a date, or have one chosen for you—forever. At twenty-two, I've spent my entire life watching this gilded cage close around the women in my family, and tonight, I'm standing at the edge of the ballroom alone. Desperate and out of options, I do the unthinkable—I beg Luca Marchetti, my family's most dangerous enemy, to save me. He agrees, but his protection comes with a price I never anticipated, and secrets that could destroy everything I thought I knew about my family. Now I'm trapped between the devil I ran from and the one I ran to, and I'm starting to realize that some cages are built by the very people who promise to set you free.
