Hollow Hearts: A Dark Captive Mastermind Romance

By: SANDI WBW

He erased my existence. He locked me in a tower. And then he asked me to rule the ruins.

They say the truth sets you free. They lied. The truth got me a one-way ticket to a cage in the sky.

I went hunting for Julian Blackwood's secrets-the reclusive billionaire who watches New York City through a million camera lenses. I expected to find a corporate criminal. instead, I found a ghost.

Now, I am his prisoner. He says the world thinks I'm dead. He says the people I trusted are the ones holding the knife. He says he is the only safe place left in a city of monsters.

Julian is terrifying, brilliant, and dangerously obsessed. He doesn't just want my silence; he wants my submission. He wants to strip away my morality until I see the world through his grey, ruthless eyes.

Every night, he slides a key across the table and dares me to leave. Every night, I stay.

Because the scariest part isn't that he kidnapped me. The scariest part is that he might be right.

I have a choice to make: Become the victim of his war, or become the queen of his chaos.
