Imagine your best friend invites you on an all-expenses-paid trip. Luxury at its finest.

A five-star resort, designer shopping sprees, fine dining, and balling out like there’s no tomorrow. She swears her new man is head over heels for her and doesn’t mind spending big.

While she’s out on a date, you decide to unwind with a bubble bath. The warmth relaxes you, lulling you into comfort. You dip your head beneath the water, letting the silence consume you. But when you resurface, the silence is shattered.

A man is standing there. Watching you. Before you can scream, darkness takes over.

You're knocked out, blindfolded, tied up, and on a jet—your paradise suddenly replaced with the cold reality of Staten Island, New York.

That’s when you learn the truth. Your best friend stole a lot of money from a very powerful man. A man with ties to an even more powerful family. And to save herself, she didn’t run.

She offered you up instead.

The blindfold is yanked away, but at first, all you see is darkness. Then, as your vision adjusts, you lock eyes with him.

A tall, brown-skinned man, his body inked with tattoos.

One look, one breath, and you realize the truth.

You’ve been handed over to Menace Caselli.

Not as a prisoner—as his wife.
