The Billionaire Queen's Collateral
Elena believed that her life was simple. She had a career she loved. A boyfriend she could trust and a future that felt safe.
Not until she met Valeria Moretti.
Cold, powerful and dangerous.
A billionaire queen who ruled from the shadows, where money bought loyalty and betrayal was paid in blood.
When her boyfriend, Marcus made a deal he couldn’t afford to keep. Elena became the collateral he never expected to lose.
Taken into Valeria’s world of steel dominance and threats, Elena found herself trapped in a cage where luxury had teeth. Valeria claimed she wanted only what she was owed, but that was far from the truth. Her gaze lingered, her words cut too precisely and the line between punishment and desire began to blur.
Elena had never questioned her heart. She never questioned her sexuality.
Until Valeria began to dismantle her certainty, slowly and deliberately, without laying a hand on her skin.
Because to Valeria, she didn’t need to conquer with force. She conquered with presence.
As danger and intimacy coil together, Elena must face the truth she had never truly allowed herself to see: some forms of captivity felt like freedom, and some queens didn’t ask for loyalty; they claimed it.
In a world of ruled silk temptation, steel authority and sinfully forbidden desire, love may be the most dangerous debt of all.
