Her heaven was a quiet life. His hell was a kingdom of shadows. Rain Carter has one mission: protect her daughter, Amber. At twenty-two, she's built a fortress of silence and safety, complete with a fiancé who offers the stability she craves. She's buried the memory of the man who shattered her heart four years ago-the man who looked like an Adonis and acted like a monster. But when Amber's life hangs in the balance, Rain's carefully constructed world shatters. Her daughter needs a bone marrow transplant, and there is only one match in the world. Damien Black. Known as the "Beast" of the corporate world and the undisputed King of the Underworld, Damien doesn't do mercy. He doesn't do family. And he certainly doesn't remember the girl he coldly cast out of his office years ago. When Rain reappears on her knees, begging for his help, Damien expects a scam. He expects a payout. What he doesn't expect is a DNA test that proves the silent, grey-eyed angel in the hospital bed is his own flesh and blood. Now, the Beast wants what is his. He wants his daughter. He wants the woman he once rejected. But Rain has a fiancé, a legally binding custody agreement Damien signed in cold blood, and a heart guarded by iron walls. In the underworld, happiness is a mirage and redemption is bought in blood. Damien is about to find out how far a monster will go to reclaim his throne-and the family he never knew he needed. When you think the story has ended, the nightmare is only just beginning.
