Roman
Framed for a murder he didn’t commit. Leader of the Mafia wants his family property back that is under a heiress of an enemy.

Emberly
A heiress that doesn’t know she’s a heiress. Running away from an abusive ex and down on her luck.

Solution: Abduction
Method: Let Emberly throw herself at her abductor
Intended result: get all property back to Roman, kill Emberly and we all live happily ever after.
Actual result : Abducts her and falls in love with her. Hard

Roman abducts Emberly to gain control of his family wealth. The gaslighting is so heavy in this book it was almost infuriating how she didn’t see through it all. It was fascinating to see the MMC go from being vengeful and wanting to kill the FMC to falling in love with her, and then wanting to keep her forever by trying to get her pregnant. I would say the FMC was strong, but the side effects of being abused made her blind to the gaslighting from the MMC.

I actually loved the story, the plot and the characters. It’s my first time reading a book by this author and I will be reading more of her work.
