Nancy Vance is a therapist who crossed a line she can't uncross: she fell for Damon Vito, the mafia heir sitting across from her in sessions. When he answered her love by locking her up, she cut off his finger and ran. Two years later she has rebuilt herself, changed her name, and is about to marry a quiet, safe man named Sam.
Then Damon walks into the wedding and takes Sam hostage to drag her back. Nancy is pulled into a war she never asked for: Luca Vito and Nicole Voss are poisoning their way to power, her stepfather is murdered, and the investigation points at her. To survive she has to face Damon as an equal, not a captive, and decide whether the man who caged her is also the only one who can help her burn the rest down.
