When Orsino, the ruthless enforcer for his family's powerful mafia, shakes down a desperate man over a massive debt to their casino, he expects the usual pleas and excuses. What he doesn't expect is the man's son, Ethan, to step forward with an unthinkable offer — himself as payment.
Ethan is an innocent omega. A virgin vet tech with dreams of opening his own pet shelter. He knows nothing of the dark world he's stepping into, but his determination to save his father leads him into Orsino's cold, unforgiving embrace.
To everyone's surprise, including his own, Orsino accepts Ethan's offer and takes him home, giving him a place in his own room. The hardened mafia man finds himself slowly drawn to Ethan's pure heart and gentle nature, breaking down the walls he’s built around his own. As their bond deepens, Orsino's icy exterior melts, and he begins to fall for the innocent omega who has turned his world upside down.
But the mafia world is treacherous, and enemies lurk in the shadows. When those enemies set their sights on Ethan, Orsino must confront the full force of his feelings and protect the man who has come to mean everything to him.
In a world where love is a dangerous gamble, will Orsino be able to keep Ethan safe, or will the debts of the past tear them apart?
