She doesn't remember him. He never forgot her.When Ivana Vasic was twelve years old, something in the dark corridors of a government facility decided she was worth keeping alive. She never knew what. She never knew why. She grew up, buried the memory, and became the thing her father always wanted — a scientist, brilliant and careful, building a career on understanding monsters.She didn't know she was building a file on the one who saved her.Henry has waited thirteen years. He has watched from a distance that cost him more than she will ever understand. Now the distance is over. He walked through her facility, through her carefully constructed defences, through her mind itself — and what he found there confirmed what he already knew.She was always going to be his. He is simply finished pretending otherwise.Ivana has forty-seven pages of data on what he can do. None of them prepared her for what it feels like when he decides to keep her.She should run. He would find her. They both know it.The question isn't whether she escapes.The question is when she stops wanting to.Warning: This book contains dark themes, explicit content, and a possessive male lead.
