He was sent to destroy her. But she was already broken. Mia Van Arden was raised in a house of mirrors-where love was power, silence was survival, and monsters wore suits. She learned how to smile with bleeding lips, how to lie with her eyes, how to play perfect. Then came him. Kade Carlton is cold. Calculated. A ghost in the world of kings and criminals. He doesn't flinch at blood. He doesn't hesitate to take what he wants. And what he wants is revenge. She was supposed to be a pawn. A warning. A bullet with a name on it. But she looks at him like she sees something human. And he touches her like he's forgotten what it means to burn. Their world is built on secrets. Bound by scars. And some hearts were never meant to be touched. Because the most dangerous thing he could ever do... is love her. And the most dangerous thing she could ever do... is trust him.
