Intense. Enormous. Completely wild.He's the embodiment of control and chaos-a man with a past that scars and sharpens, a predator with a singular purpose. And now, the one thing he can't have is placed directly in his path, begging to be consumed.Life on the streets taught me to survive. Prison carved me into something relentless. Now, I work for a high-end security company in the heart of Manhattan, a city of glittering facades and hidden sins. It was supposed to be a fresh start, but I should've known nothing comes easy in this world.They didn't hire me to drive passengers. They hired me to protect her.Sage Monroe. The celebrity's daughter, dripping with rebellion and defiance, a tabloid queen with a streak of trouble a mile wide. She's untouchable-spoiled, reckless, and entirely too tempting. She challenges every line I draw, pushing until something primal stirs in me, something darker than desire.She thinks she knows what power is. She thinks she knows me.But the moment she dares to defy me, she'll learn just how dangerous I can be. She's a tempest wrapped in silk, a storm hidden behind that elegant, too-perfect smile. Her every whispered secret, every shattered vulnerability, chains me tighter to her, and those curves... God, those curves are enough to break a man.I'm supposed to keep my distance. She's forbidden, a line I can't cross. But when the bratva sets its sights on her, all bets are off. She doesn't know the shadows I've lived in, the hunger I've kept at bay. Trouble follows her like a shadow, and lucky for her, I've spent years learning how to devour it whole.Now, she's mine to protect. Mine to control. Mine to ruin.She's the forbidden indulgence I can't resist. And I won't stop until I've claimed every last inch of her.

In this dark and atmospheric tale, Izzie, a blind woman, endures the solitude of her husband Adrian’s deployment overseas. As she writes letters filled with their cherished memories, she clings to the hope of his return. Eager to surprise Adrian, Izzie undergoes eye surgery to regain her sight, dreaming of the moment she will finally see him. When Adrian returns, he seems to be everything she remembered—his appearance, his voice, and his intimate knowledge of their life together. Yet something feels unnervingly off. Despite his perfect mimicry, he doesn’t quite feel like her husband. His love for her is intense, perhaps too intense, and as Izzie tries to reconcile her feelings, she is haunted by the unsettling question: Is the man who stands before her truly the Adrian she has longed for, or is there a darker truth hidden behind his overwhelming affection?
