He bought my obedience with a blood oath. I am going to burn his syndicate to the ground.
The sovereign of the criminal underworld rules with absolute terror and cold calculation. When my father trades me to him to settle a lethal debt, my new husband thinks he is getting a compliant pawn. He believes this arranged marriage will cement his total control over the city. He is completely wrong. I am not a fragile bargaining chip. I am the architect of his impending ruin.
Trapped inside his isolated fortress, we engage in a violent game of manipulation. He guards me with terrifying possessiveness. He slaughters anyone who looks at me twice. His dark obsession is entirely selfish, yet his brutal protection ignites a dangerous and consuming heat between us. I came here to dismantle his global network from the inside. Now, his calloused hands and wicked intelligence threaten to compromise my mission. Every touch is a calculated risk. Every shared breath in the dark is a treasonous mistake.
