Ava Ramirez wants a quiet life—school, work, survival. Liam Blackwood wants her. He’s the cold, feared billionaire who never notices anyone twice… until a single accident puts Ava in his arms. Since that night, Liam has watched her, studied her, wanted her with a hunger that borders on dangerous. Ava tries to pull away. But when threats begin circling her life, Liam is the only one who shows up. The only one who protects her. The only one who refuses to let her go. What begins as unwanted attention becomes a dark, irresistible pull neither of them can escape. But someone else is watching. Someone who wants Ava gone—and Liam ruined. A war is coming. And Ava is the reason.
