The Rules of the Forbidden City

Sienna Dubois believed her life had only one price: the colossal debt left by her father. To save her family, she surrenders herself to the most feared man in the Russian underworld: Dante Volkov. Dante isn't a creditor; he's a predator. He holds her hostage for 90 days, not for the money, but to force her into obedience. He imposes only one rule: never give in to the simmering desire between them.
But when the rule is broken, the lie crumbles. Sienna discovers that the debt is nothing but a decoy. Her imprisonment is a shield, and her father, Marc Dubois, wasn't an innocent victim, but a traitor. Pursued by enemies who want to destroy her, Sienna has no choice but to ally herself with her captor. Danger reveals a cruel truth: Dante is the monster who destroyed everything, but also the only man willing to burn his own empire to keep her alive.
Faced with chaos, Dante makes the ultimate choice: to let her go. But Sienna, now forged by passion and blood, refuses freedom. She returns to reclaim her place in the shadows. The deal is done, the game of victim and executioner is over. She has returned, not as a prisoner, but as Queen.
