For six years, Aria has danced at the edges of Kael’s dark world — a brilliant, ruthless man twice her age, whose wealth and influence make him untouchable. She confessed her feelings once and was shattered when he rejected her. But when Aria tries to marry someone else, Kael kidnaps her on her wedding day, revealing she was never free of him. Now, thrust into the shadows of his empire, Aria must navigate deadly alliances, dangerous power plays, and the searing, possessive passion between them. But Kael isn’t the only one obsessed. Aria has secrets of her own — and soon, it becomes clear she’s been pulling the strings as much as he has. In a world of betrayal, obsession, and fierce love, only one truth remains: they can’t escape each other — and they never wanted to.
