For five years, Marina believed love could be enough. She was not born into wealth, nor power, nor the glittering world of South Korea's elite. She was only a freelance graphic artist, living paycheck to paycheck, carefully stretching every bill, every meal, every dream. But then Troy came into her life-Troy, the untouchable son of a powerful chairman, the acting CEO of one of his family's companies, a man who could have anything and anyone he wanted. And for reasons Marina never fully understood, he chose her. He showered her with affection, warmth, attention, and promises that were never spoken clearly but always felt close enough to believe in. He made her feel cherished. Needed. Loved. So Marina gave him everything. Her youth. Her patience. Her loyalty. Her heart. She stayed through the quiet disappointments. Through the empty anniversaries. Through every moment she convinced herself that marriage was not important as long as they had love. But after five years together, even the most patient heart begins to hope. And at a wedding surrounded by Troy's friends, laughter, champagne, and teasing voices asking if they would be next, Marina finally allowed herself to believe that maybe, at last, it was their turn. She blushed like a woman about to be chosen. Then Troy laughed. "Marriage is out of the question." The words were careless. Easy. Like her hope meant nothing. Their friends tried to laugh it off, teasing him again. Five years was long enough, wasn't it? Surely it was time to settle down. But Troy only looked at her and said the words that shattered whatever was left of her. "Marina knows her place." And in that silence, Marina finally understood. Her place was not beside him. Not as his wife. Not as his equal. Not as the woman he would proudly choose in front of the world. To him, she was comfort. Convenience. A soft place to return to when he was tired of his own world. Someone he could touch, keep, and discard without consequence. Someone

Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.
