HE LOVED ME RECKLESSLY

Dominic Castellano, heir to New York’s Castellano Mafia family, appears madly in love with Elena Whitmore. But all his affection is nothing but a sham. Elena is merely a human decoy to shield Bianca, the adopted sister he truly cherishes. Kidnapped and tortured by rival gangsters, Elena loses her unborn baby. She waits desperately for Dominic’s rescue, yet he delays saving her over and over just to comfort Bianca. Fully shattered after witnessing his endless indifference and countless humiliations, Elena endures brutal abuse before making a daring escape. She takes on a new identity, builds up her power, reclaims her family corporation, and exposes Bianca and Dominic’s crimes—including the plot that killed her mother and the theft of all her family wealth. Having exacted her revenge, she severs all ties with Dominic and embarks on a brand-new life alone.
