He wasn't supposed to save her.
And she wasn't supposed to fall for a killer.
When Namiko Azuni Clark's world fell apart, it didn't do it quietly - it exploded. Her abusive boyfriend nearly ended her life, and her father turned his back long ago. But when a man named Dayvon "Von" Bennett stepped in - a man with blood on his hands and a reputation soaked in fear - she found herself rescued by the devil himself.
Now she's living in his Chicago penthouse - four weeks deep into a life she didn't choose but can't seem to walk away from. Von isn't just dangerous; he's controlled, possessive, and terrifyingly patient. He doesn't ask for love - he demands loyalty, obedience, and trust.
And yet, beneath the gunmetal edge of his stare, there's something else - something tender that only she sees.
He has a heart, but it only beats for her.
As their lives intertwine through obsession, pain, and passion, Namiko begins to question everything - is she his prisoner, his redemption, or the one thing that can destroy him completely?
Because loving a killer means bleeding for him too.
