Madelyn Hale, a fiercely independent club owner, lives by her own rules. But when her dark past resurfaces with her father's prison release, she finds solace in self-destruction. Unbeknownst to her, Lorenzo Armini, the ruthless Don of the Italian mafia, is searching for 'her'. Their worlds are about to collide in a whirlwind of danger, desire, and secrets. Will Madelyn escape the shadows of her past, or be consumed by a powerful new force?

The lingering haze of last night's excess clung to Madelyn like a second skin. Her head throbbed in rhythm with the insistent rumble of her stomach, a brutal reminder of her current state.

"Fucking starving," she mumbled, pushing herself up from the tangled sheets. The room spun for a moment, then settled. She reached for her phone, its screen a beacon in the dim light of her bedroom. With a few taps, an absurdly large breakfast order was placed, enough to feed a small army, or at least one very hungover club owner.

The mirror in her bathroom offered a grotesque reflection. "You look like death warmed over, Maddy," she chastised, wincing at her disheveled appearance. A quick, practiced skincare routine, then the doorbell chimed, a glorious sound. Food. She practically sprinted to the door, three bags of salvation clutched in her arms.
