Owned by the Devil

Tate Kovalenko survived a war.
He survived his father.
He survived a knife attack.
But what he wasn't prepared for... was Luciano Moretti.

At eighteen, Tate escapes war torn Ukraine and lands in New Jersey with nothing but a scar, a duffle bag, and a need to survive. By day, he's a quiet political science major trying to save the world. By night, he works as a bouncer at a strip club - until one brutal fight puts him in the hospital and in the crosshairs of New York's most dangerous mafia boss.

Luciano is cold. Violent. Untouchable.
Married to a rival mob princess.
And hiding a secret that could get him killed.

Luciano tells Tate he owes him a debt.
Luciano tells Tate he belongs to him.
Luciano doesn't ask - he takes.

Forced into Luciano's world of blood and loyalty, Tate tries to hate the man who treats him like property. But stolen glances turn into lingering touches. Violence turns into protection. And the monster everyone fears starts showing Tate a softness no one else has ever seen.

But loving Luciano means risking everything.

Because in Luciano's world-
being discovered means death...
betrayal is answered with torture...
and touching what belongs to the Devil...
means you die.

When their love is threatened, Tate must make a decision:

Run from the devil...
or let himself be consumed by his flames.

Some love stories are sweet. Theirs is written in blood.
