The world of Kiara is a small, sun-drenched room in an orphanage—until her eighteenth birthday strikes and the doors lock behind her. Thrust into a city of glass and steel with nothing but a suitcase and a heart that doesn't know how to lie, she is the ultimate prey in a concrete jungle. Enter Kai Maatvei Morreti, a man who built an empire on the broken bones of those who dared to defy him. To the public, he is a self-made titan of industry; to the shadows, he is a ghost who rules the underworld with an iron fist and blood oaths. He has no time for the weakness of "love," believing only in possession and total control. He is flanked by his shadows: Dimitri, the eagle-eyed strategist who sees every threat, and Zar, the silent blade embedded in scars and cuts who has lived and killed for Kai as a lineage serving from centuries old to his family . Their worlds collide by sheer, dangerous accident. One look at Kiara—her startling innocence and the way she doesn't flinch at his lethal aura—and Kai’s cold discipline cracks. He doesn't want to protect her; he wants to consume her. He wants to be the only air she breathes and the only god she prays to.Amidst a den of "foxes" waiting to stab him in the back, Kai decides to bring the lamb into the wolf’s lair, setting off a dark obsession where Kiara must learn to survive a man who doesn't know how to love, only how to keep.
