Sixty Million Sins

Twenty years ago, Lorenzo Valenti didn’t just vanish; he orchestrated a sixty-million-dollar heist that nearly crippled the Vane empire. He used that stolen blood money to buy a sanctuary of prayers, shielding his daughter, Clara, in a world of white lace and holy icons. He thought if he kept her pure, his sins would stay buried. He was wrong. Dante Vane has spent two decades hunting the ghost who robbed his family. He didn’t find a ledger or a vault, he found a miracle. Clara, Lorenzo's daughter. A 21 year old beauty that enchants him is the only interest Dante is willing to accept, a living sacrifice to balance a debt that spans generations. She isn’t his guest, and she isn’t his wife. She is a prize he intends to break just to see her father bleed. Sold into a forced contract, Clara is stripped of her rosary and her freedom, tossed into the cold, obsidian world of a man who views her as property. Dante is the devil she was warned about, and he has a year to make her pay for a crime she didn't commit. But in the shadows of their gilded cage, the line between hatred and obsession begins to rot. Dante realizes he no longer wants the money back....he wants her soul. And Clara is about to learn that the monster who bought her is the only one who can save her from the truth of her father’s past. The contract is signed. But what happens when the Beast realizes he can’t breathe without the very Prize he swore to destroy?
