An escaped auction captive discovers her fiancé's uncle is the mob boss she thought she killed.
Willa refuses the fate of a mafia auction block, putting a bullet in Damen and disappearing into a year of freedom. Safety shatters when the uncle of the man she plans to marry steps forward — the same kingpin who survived her shot and held every memory of her betrayal. He does not need force this time; the engagement ring on her finger gives him a doorway straight back into her life, turning a wedding into a trap she cannot simply shoot her way out of.
