I very nearly DNF'd this book.
Chiara is sold into human trafficking. Rather than being bought by any of the men at the auction, Killian DeLorenzo, the leader of the Romanian mafia, shows up and takes her as his own.
Chiara is angry at being drugged on the way to Killian's home but quickly adapts to the life of luxury at his estate. She can't leave, of course. Later in the book she insinuates that she was trying to resist him but that couldn't be further from the truth.
Their connection was forced and neither character was particularly interesting. Chiara was probably the most oblivious fmc I've ever read.
Killian really isn't much better. He tells her he wants her as his wife for real, not just on paper. She sleeps in his room for the first time and when she wakes up, he tells he she has to leave for good.
Any traumatic events were basically glossed over and the fmc had little to no reaction. An emotionless character is hard to connect or empathize with.
The last 20% of this book which WAS somewhat decent, should have happened in the middle of the book. Her husband is the most dangerous man in the country but...she doesn't trust him to handle his second in command?
Despite the blurb sounding like something I would absolutely love, this book just wasn't for me.
