Sold by her gambling stepfather to clear his debts, 22-year-old Chloe is locked in a dark room as a sacrificial offering for Dante, the blind, disgraced ex-heir to a feared crime family. Rumored to be a volatile, scarred beast since the coup that cost him his sight, Dante immediately pins her by the throat with a death threat. Instead of cowering, Chloe gently takes his bleeding hand, instantly shattering the ice around the monster's heart.
When an arrogant housekeeper abuses Chloe, the reclusive blind godfather emerges like a bloodthirsty wraith, ordering the woman's hands chopped off. Chloe becomes the only light in his dark world, holding him through trauma-filled storm nights. When old rivals return to tear Chloe away, the scar-covered beast unleashes hell, cutting a merciless path through the mafia underworld to protect his only salvation.
