365 Days

Laura Biel is on a dream vacation in Sicily with her boyfriend. On the second day of the trip, her twenty-ninth birthday, she is kidnapped. Her captor is Don Massimo Torricelli, the young and strikingly handsome head of a powerful Sicilian crime family, and he is determined to possess her.

Massimo has his reasons. During an earlier attempt on his life, he saw a vision of a beautiful woman who looked exactly like Laura. After he survived the attack, he vowed to find her and make her his.

He holds Laura in his palatial estate for 365 days and sets out to win her heart. If she has not fallen in love with him by the end, he will let her go. If she tries to escape at any point, he will hunt her down and kill her whole family. Laura soon finds herself fascinated by her powerful captor, and a precarious, risky bond forms between them, but forces outside their control threaten to pull them apart.

This is a dark, sexually explicit romance, originally written in Polish by Blanka Lipinska. It is the first book in a trilogy and inspired a Netflix film.
