Jannica Hera Santos lived an ordinary life-until the day Zeus Alexander Rossi entered it. A half-Filipino, half-Italian mafia kingpin, Zeus was ruthless, feared, and utterly obsessed. His steel-ocean blue eyes didn't just see her-they claimed her. Kidnapped and held captive, Jannica finds herself trapped between terror and fascination. Every command he gives, every glance he casts, blurs the line between fear and an unsettling attraction she can't ignore. Her pleas are met with control, her resistance only feeding his obsession. As she struggles to hold onto her freedom and her sanity, Jannica discovers that escaping Zeus may be impossible... and surviving him, even harder. In a world where power is absolute, desire is dangerous, and obsession knows no boundaries, how far will one woman go to reclaim her life-and how far will a man go to claim what he believes is his?

Ztross Vale was never the kind of man who asked permission. At twenty-three, he built his name on control, silence, and the kind of fear that made powerful men step aside when he entered a room. Love was never part of his world-only rules, power, and consequences. Until he saw her. Sixteen. Innocent. Untouched by the darkness he lived in. She wasn't supposed to matter. She was just a passing moment in his otherwise ruthless life. But one glance was enough to unravel everything he believed in. Because for the first time, Ztross didn't want to destroy something beautiful-he wanted to keep it. Even if it meant taking her. Even if it meant crossing every line he once swore he would never break. So he did the unthinkable. He took her away from her world, from her safety, from everything she knew... and brought her into his. Now she lives in a cage of luxury and danger, where every door is locked not to punish her-but to keep her from leaving him. He tells himself it's protection. Obsession disguised as love. But she only sees the truth: she was stolen. And as fear slowly collides with something neither of them can name, Ztross Vale must face the most dangerous question of all- If love is born from kidnapping... can it ever be love at all?
