Belonging

Belonging: A dark romance that will steal your breath and never give it back. At thirty-eight, Vittorio is the ruthless head of the Sicilian mafia-a man who never fails, never bows, and never forgives. Under his iron rule, La Santa has flourished like never before, earning him the title of El dio de la Sicilia. He's a god in a world of violence, a master of control, and he will not be defied. Eighteen-year-old Gabriella knows she's no match for a man like him.
A hardworking Brazilian girl burdened by the fragile health of her beloved sister, she's always done whatever it takes to keep her family alive. But desperation leads her to commit a single theft-an act she believes she can walk away from. She's wrong. Vittorio will not let her forget. He will not let her escape. She's stolen from a god, and he demands a life in payment: her life, her soul, her belonging.
As Gabriella's world spirals into darkness, she must choose-death or submission to the cruelest man in Europe. But in a world ruled by power and obsession, the line between hate and desire begins to blur. And what begins as punishment may become a twisted kind of devotion neither of them can deny.
