Nate Miller

Leah was handed over as payment to one of the most dangerous men in the mafia when she was just ten years old. Since then, her life has been in the hands of Nate Miller. Far from the powerful Miller family, Nate hides her in a luxurious apartment, where he raises her under strict control and provides her with the best education possible. For seven years, Leah grows up isolated from the criminal underworld that ruined her childhood... and also from the danger posed by her own mother, a woman who wanted to run away with millions of dollars belonging to the mafia. Now, at seventeen, Leah is not the girl Nate took. She's smart, beautiful, and too curious to continue submitting to the rules of a man who controls every aspect of her life. But when Leah begins to see him in new ways, Nate tries to convince himself that she's still just a liability... even though each day becomes more difficult to ignore the tension that grows between them. In a world where betrayal is paid for with blood, falling in love can be the most dangerous mistake of their lives.
