For eighteen years, I've played the part, swallowed my anger, and kept silent. My parents believe I'm crazy enough to marry that madman, Divo Talerico. They're mistaken.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind the scenes, I've made plans, saved every penny, and prayed everything will fall into place.

My father's greatest rival, the wolf of Manhattan, Enzo Lupo, comes out of the shadows and kidnaps me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe says he loves me but keeps me a captive in his gilded cage. He's beautiful, ruthless and his kisses make me feel things I've never felt before. But I won't run from one prison into another. I'll bide my time, make him trust me, and run again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo cage can hold me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnzo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManhattan is mine. In this city's underworld, everyone kneels to me. I've worked hard to build my reputation with bullets and blood, and yet, it's never enough. Everywhere I look, people want to take what's mine. I've devoted my life to building what my father started and keeping the power we've rightfully won. I spend so much time protecting my territory, I've given up the things we Sicilians cherish most, family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy life is too dangerous to drag a good woman into my world, and I vowed long ago I wouldn't show weakness to anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOr so I thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo one is more off-limits than Gala Lombardo.
