From a young age, she was trained to be the perfect wife. Every decision she ever made had to be approved by her father. Every move she made followed their family’s strict rules. She was her father’s prized possession and number one leveraging asset, until the man she was promised to fell in love with someone else.

Overnight, Zenia went from being her father’s pride and joy to his greatest embarrassment, and a reminder of a failed alliance. Seven years later, her father finally finds a way to settle the debt. He sells his virgin daughter to the highest bidder. It doesn’t matter that he’s from one of the most despicable families in the mafia world. Deciding she has nothing left to lose, Zenia runs. Her only plan is to find the man who destroyed her life and make him pay.

Instead of finding the man who ruined her, she runs into Sawyer Ash, head of security at Cashville Resort and Casino. One unforgettable night changes the entire trajectory of their lives. When Sawyer offers her a job, a place to stay, and a chance to start over, Zenia discovers something she’s never had before—a life of her own. In this case, freedom comes with a hefty price tag.

As Zenia falls in love with the man who’s determined to protect her, the past she left behind refuses to let her go. Secrets unravel, loyalties are put to the test, and Sawyer discovers that the woman he vowed to love and protect isn’t exactly who she claimed to be. In the end, he’s faced with the decision of whether protecting her is worth walking back into the life he’d swore he left before. Sometimes love is worth the war.","format",{"_19":126,"_90":127,"_128":129,"_130":47},"publisher","B.
