SOLD TO THE DEVIL

Daniella Montenegro has spent her entire life paying for sins that were never hers.

Her mother’s death. Her father’s failures. Her brother’s reckless choices. At twenty, she dances under neon lights each night just to keep food on the table for a family that has never protected her in return. When the man she was meant to marry disappears on their wedding day, Daniella believes humiliation is the worst fate waiting for her.

She is wrong.

By nightfall, her father’s gambling debts come due, and desperate men make desperate bargains. To settle what he owes, he offers the only thing he has left of value.

His daughter.

Blindfolded and delivered like payment, Daniella is taken to the secluded estate of Santiago Torres Mendoza, a man whispered about in business circles and feared everywhere else. Powerful, controlled, and mercilessly private, Santiago is not a man who explains his decisions, only enforces them.

Daniella arrives with nothing: no freedom, no allies, and no way to escape.

And she carries a secret of her own.

Two months pregnant with a child whose father she cannot name, she is forced to sign a contract that claims her body, her future, and her unborn child. Survival becomes her only goal as she is pulled into Santiago’s dangerous world of luxury negotiations, shadowed alliances, and corruption powerful enough to erase lives without consequence.

But everything changes the moment Santiago truly looks at her.

Because Daniella Montenegro has her mother’s face, the face of the woman he lost twenty-three years ago. A woman whose disappearance left wounds that time never healed and secrets buried deep enough to destroy empires.

What begins as a transaction becomes a fragile and dangerous alliance. As enemies close in and the truth about Daniella’s past begins to surface, Santiago finds himself protecting the one person he was never meant to care about, while Daniella discovers that the most terrifying prison is not the contract that binds her, but the man whose darkness may be the only thing keeping her alive.

In a world ruled by power, loyalty, and betrayal, the greatest threat is not the devil who bought her…

But the woman who refuses to belong to anyone.

Just as Camilla had promised, one side of the wardrobe had already been filled with neatly folded clothes.


After browsing for a few moments, she settled on an oversized ivory home shirt made from soft cotton. The loose garment slipped comfortably over her body, reaching almost to the middle of her thighs while leaving plenty of room around her growing baby bump. It was simple, comfortable, and carried a faint floral scent that reminded her of Camilla.


She loosely towel-dried her hair before letting it fall naturally over her shoulders. Looking at herself in the full-length mirror, she couldn't help smiling.


Chuckling quietly, she slipped her feet into a pair of fluffy house slippers that had been left beside the bed before making her way downstairs.


The delicious aroma of butter, herbs, and freshly cooked food greeted her long before she reached the kitchen.
