<b>From Amazon top 40 best selling author Giana Darling comes a dark, twisted tale of an Italian woman sold into slavery to a cold, calculating British modern day Earl with his own dark agenda… </b> <br> <br>It was the biggest day of my life. <br>I know most people say that about something joyous; a graduation, a wedding ceremony, the birth of their first child. My situation was a little different. <br>Sure, it was my eighteenth birthday, but it was also the day that I was sold. <br>Sold to a man with hair like a crown of gold and eyes blacker than the darkest pits of Hell. <br>He bought me to own me, to control me, and to use me as a means to an end. <br>I was his tool and his weapon. <br>And through it all, somehow, I also became his salvation.
