In the gilded halls of the Moretti crime family, perfection is currency and control is king. Lyric, the family's bastard daughter, has spent her life as an instrument of her half-sister's whims, trained to break men into perfect shapes. Her latest assignment? Transform Dante Romano into the ideal husband for her sister Alessandra.
But perfection comes with a price.
As Lyric systematically breaks Dante through calculated cruelty and careful conditioning, she discovers something dangerous: his understanding. His recognition of the cage they both inhabit. With every shared rhythm of pain, every moment of unexpected mercy, they forge something neither of them is supposed to have-a connection that threatens everything.
