Orphaned at seven and haunted by the shadow of her parents' deaths, she's become a master of survival, working hard to pay off her father's debts to the ruthless Mafia that won't let her go. Just when her world seems to be unraveling, a cold, enigmatic, wealthy businessman, Heath, steps in with an offer she can't afford to refuse: protection, for a price. But as she gets pulled deeper into his dangerous world, she realizes there's more to Heath than meets the eye. His life, like hers, is shaped by secrets and scars that run deep. Bound by a deal that could either save her or destroy her, Estherlina must navigate a treacherous path of lies, loyalty, and betrayal. Heath's protection may keep her safe from her enemies, but will it also trap her in a web she can't untangle? ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬❦▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
