She was meant to escape him, not crave him. When Aria Blake, an artist haunted by her past, witnesses a brutal crime, she becomes the prisoner of Damian Voss — a billionaire who rules with quiet ruthlessness. He should have silenced her. Instead, he’s drawn to her fear. She should have hated him. Instead, she’s drawn to his pain. But love born in darkness demands a price — one neither of them is ready to pay. A dark romance of control, redemption, and the dangerous line between hate and desire.

When Nara Trent steps into Kael Viero’s world to repay her fathers debt, she expects punishment. What she finds is a man who rules with silence and power — and sees through every wall she’s built. Kael is danger dressed in tailored suits, a man whose empire is built on secrets and fear. Nara becomes his collateral — the one who must stay close until the debt is “repaid.” But as their worlds collide, loyalty turns to obsession, and power becomes a dangerous kind of passion. She owes him her freedom. He wants her surrender. In a city ruled by darkness, love might be the most dangerous debt of all.
