Lorenzo offers a contract with a single, terrifying condition: Total submission.​Elena thinks she’s marrying a savior to save her empire. Lorenzo knows he’s buying a bird just to watch it beat its wings against the cage.​In a game of revenge where the stakes are hearts and empires, only one thing is certain: Two can play Devil.

She thought she knew who to trust. She was wrong. Selene Ravenscroft has always lived in a world of power, secrets, and control. But nothing could prepare her for the night she discovered the darkness her father hides-a basement of chains, a world of cruelty, and a man who moves through it like a shadow. Adrian is an assassin for the Vanta Meridian Circle, sent to infiltrate her father's empire. Every act of protection is a lie. Every moment of closeness is calculated. Yet as danger closes in, Selene finds herself drawn to him-and trust becomes a weapon just as sharp as betrayal. In a city where loyalty is bought, and shadows speak louder than words, the only rule is simple: never trust the devil. But what if the devil is the only one who can save you?

Christian Tristan believes in control. It’s how he survived a childhood shaped by power and silence. It’s how he raises his son. It’s how he keeps the shadows of his past where they belong. Seraphim Hill believes in stability. After losing her parents to a mafia conflict and being abandoned while pregnant, she built her life on structure, not promises. She refuses to let darkness near her daughter again. They were never meant to overlap. But when their children form an unbreakable bond, distance becomes impossible. And when Seraphim’s ex-fiancé returns — now tied to the same underground world that destroyed her family — the past refuses to stay buried. Some loves feel dangerous. Some dangers feel like love. And this time, walking away may cost more than staying.
