THE CASTIGLIONE CONTRACT: The Devil is Obsessed with Me

"Sign it. Or your family dies tonight."

~

Cassandra Maro has never had the luxury of choices. College by day. Strip club by night. Every dollar clawed back to pay off debts her coward of a father left behind before he vanished. She's used to surviving. She's not used to him.

Cesare Castiglione. Feared underworld lord. The kind of man people cross the street to avoid and pray they never owe. When he shows up at her club with a contract and a cold smile, Cassandra learns the terrifying truth - her father's debt now belongs to him. And so does she.

One signature. Her freedom, for her family's lives. She signs.

She expects a monster. What she gets is worse - a man who is terrifyingly controlled, unnervingly perceptive, and completely, ruthlessly obsessed with her. He notices everything. Guards her like a secret. Punishes her like a possession.

But when a rival boss uses Cassandra as a pawn in a war she never asked to enter, she starts to realize something dangerous: Cesare Castiglione doesn't just own her contract. He would burn the entire underworld to the ground before he lets anyone else touch her.

[The question isn't whether she can escape him. It's whether she still wants to.]
