Natalia

The night Pietro Boselli came for my father’s debt, he didn’t just take what was owed… he took me.

I thought I understood fear. I thought I knew what it meant to hate someone. But Pietro isn’t just the youngest, most ruthless Don in the Italian mafia, he’s a storm that can’t be outrun.

His rules are iron, his eyes colder than the barrel of his gun… and yet, under that steel, I catch flashes of something else.

Something I shouldn’t want to see.

I keep telling myself I’ll escape. That I won’t let him break me. But every day I spend in his world, the more I wonder if the real danger isn’t losing my freedom… it’s losing myself to him.

Pietro

Natalia Arcor was never part of the plan. I took her because her father failed me, because I wanted to make him bleed without pulling the trigger. She was supposed to be a pawn, collateral I could use, discard, forget.

But Natalia isn’t forgettable. She’s fire in a world of ice, sharp-tongued and defiant when she should be begging. Every challenge she throws at me makes me want to crush her… and keep her.

I built my empire by never letting anyone close enough to matter. She’s the first to slip past my guard. And now that she’s in my hands, there’s only one truth left—Natalia belongs to me, whether she wants to or not.

This is the first Book in the Empire of Ice Series. Reading order:

Nothing to Lose.

Nothing to Win.

Nothing to Fear.
