𝐀𝐜𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐧𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 is a lethal executioner for the London syndicate. He rules the underground with violent efficiency, fueled by nine years of seething hatred for the girl whose lie condemned his mother to die. When he tracks Amara to her university, his plan is cold and calculated: stalk her, shatter her fragile mind, and use her as leverage to eradicate her family. But the girl he corners in the shadows isn't a calculating liar. She's a terrified, traumatized student with vivid green eyes who smells like vanilla and fights back with a desperate fire. The moment he touches her, the vengeance burns to ash. His cold hatred violently mutates into a dark, unhinged obsession. He doesn't want to destroy her anymore. He wants to own every fractured piece of her soul. As Ace systematically isolates her from the world, blurring the terrifying line between a predator and a protector, Amara realizes the executioner isn't just haunting her life-he's claiming it. Safe in a cage is still in a cage. But what happens when you start falling for the monster standing guard at the door?
