Book excerpt: He claimed me, chained me, and made me his property. With a single word, Vittorio Contarini made me his property. He made me beg. He made me scream. He made me do things that I never imagined myself ever doing. I should be terrified of him… But can I tell you a secret? What terrifies me isn’t how he takes control of me. It isn’t what he makes me do—both in and out of the bedroom. It isn’t even the fact that he’s the Don of the most dangerous crime family in all of New York. What terrifies me is that that each time his strong hands touch my body. Each time his hot breath teases at my ear. Each time he makes me submit to his dark desires, I find myself practically begging him for more. And I don’t think I’d ever want him to stop. *** Chained by the Don is a dark mafia romance between a ruthless billionaire mafia don who locked his heart behind a cage of violence, and the virgin woman that he buys. Contains violence, language, dark themes that some may find triggering, and steamy intimate moments. You have been warned. Perfect for fans of E. L. James, Sylvia Day, Helen Hardt, Anna Todd, and Megan Maxwell.
