"He was my will to live. My ruler of all parts of me. He was my 𝐝𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐲 and I was his good girl."
Amara Bennett thought the worst thing that could happen to her was losing the man she planned to spend the rest of her life with.
She was wrong.
After a painful breakup leaves her wandering the streets of Chicago late one night, Amara takes a shortcut through an alley and accidentally witnesses something she was never meant to see a man being executed by John Darnthal, one of the city's most respected businessmen and its most dangerous secret.
Now John knows her face.
And Amara knows his secret.
What she doesn't know is that John is far more connected to her life than she could have ever imagined.
When she returns home, shaken and desperate to forget what she saw, her father introduces her to a new business associate that she has to work under.
John Darnthal.
The same man whose gun she watched fire only hours before.
Forced into a world of wealth, crime, betrayal, sex and secrets, Amara quickly realizes that surviving John Darnthal's world may be easier than surviving the man himself.
Because John has no intention of letting her go.
Especially after getting that feeling he so much as craved his entire life touched. Creased and thorn apart as his obsession begins to spiel for her.
But the more Amara learns about him, the more she begins to wonder.
