For three years, Ethan Cole believed he had found the love of his life.
At just twenty-one years old, the hardworking college student did everything he could to support his boyfriend, Derek Brooks. While Ethan balanced college and part-time jobs, Derek struggled to find work because he had no educational qualifications. Ethan never complained. He believed that as long as they had each other, they could overcome anything.
Then everything changed.
Desperate to escape poverty, Derek accepted a job at the luxurious mansion of the most feared mafia boss in the underworld—Dante Moretti.
The day Dante met Ethan, the powerful mafia boss became interested in the young college student. Seeing an opportunity to gain money and secure his position, Derek accepted a deal that no loving boyfriend ever should have.
One night.
One night with Ethan in exchange for wealth, status, and a better future.
Ethan's heart shattered the moment he realized the man he loved had traded him away without hesitation.
But the betrayal didn't end there.
Instead of feeling guilty, Derek began cheating on Ethan with another woman while constantly insulting Ethan for what had happened. He shamelessly called him a slut, mocked him for spending a night with another man, and blamed him for ruining their relationship.
As if that wasn't enough, Derek eventually threw Ethan out of the house they once shared, leaving him homeless, heartbroken, and completely alone.
Or so Ethan thought.
Unknown to him, the ruthless Dante Moretti had never forgotten that one night.
The feared mafia boss who showed mercy to no one couldn't stop thinking about the gentle young man whose kindness remained unchanged despite all the pain he had endured. What began as curiosity slowly turned into an obsession, and Dante made one decision that would change both their lives forever.
He wanted Ethan.
Not for another night.
Not as a temporary distraction.
But as his.
Can Ethan learn to trust again after being betrayed by the man he loved?
Can the most feared mafia boss prove that his feelings are real?
Or will Derek's greed and jealousy destroy Ethan's chance at happiness once again?
