Publisher's Summary

Haven Antonelli and Carmine DeMarco grew up under vastly different circumstances. Haven, a second-generation slave, was isolated in the middle of the desert, her days full of hard work and terrifying abuse. Carmine, born into a wealthy Mafia family, lived a life of privilege and excess.

Now a twist of fate has caused their worlds to collide. Entangled in a web of secrets and lies, they learn that while different on the surface, they have more in common than anyone would think.

In a world full of chaos, where money and power rule, Haven and Carmine yearn to break free, but a string of events that began before either of them were born threatens to destroy them instead. Murder and betrayal are a way of life, and nothing comes without a price - especially not freedom. But how much will they have to sacrifice? Can they escape their pasts? And, most of all, what does it mean to be free?

A story of kidnappings, slavery, mafia and love

This was a super long book. I'm glad I listened to it on audio, not sure I would have read it through to the end. The story is very interesting. This man Vincent Demarco buys this teen girl saving her from a brutal Master. He brings her home where he lives with his two teen age sons. One of them, Carmine who is a broody, playboy who doesn't seem to care about anyone, is captivated by this new girl Haven. The story is larger than the romance, there are twists, secrets, betrayals, the mafia, and revenge all tangled around this girl. There is a second book and a few novellas, but this can be read as a stand alone, the ending is satisfying.
