Nova may have met the man of her dreams, but he’s not the one she’s been sold to.

Five years ago, I  made a deal with the devil. My father. A ruler in this city who wields his power with an iron fist. He raised me for one purpose and one purpose only.

To marry a man he chose.

No exceptions. No alternate options. And no ability to choose.

in exchange for my eager submission when the time came, he offered me five years of total freedom to do as I pleased.

I jumped at the chance to experience that kind of life. Now my time is up.

Tomorrow, the man I promised to marry will arrive and everything I’ve built will come crumbling down. He expects my willing submission and rightfully so. It is what I have vowed.

My heart however…

It already belongs to another.

I don't know his name. But I do know what it feels like to be on my knees in front of him, waiting for his command.

After weeks of secret nights and promises not to get attached, I don’t want to walk away. When he learns the truth, however, I’ll have no other choice.

I slept with the enemy and enemies never forgive or forget.

My name is Catherine Novaline Cullotta and I am about to be sacrificed to the mafia.
