Alanna did everything in her power to gain her parents' approval: wore the right clothes, dated the right men, attended the right parties, and made enough money to get them through the doors of high society that had long been out of their reach. Instead of a thank you for all she had done, she was blamed for reacting the wrong way to finding out her husband had been cheating on her with her younger sister-and her family wanted her to accept it because it was "true love." When Alanna decided she was done vying for her parents' approval and started feeling isolated, an old classmate came to her with an offer she couldn't refuse: marry him and join one of the most powerful families in town. The catch? Intimacy was off the table. Any plans for future children would be done through surrogacy or artificial insemination. Deciding this was the only way to regain her dignity, she agreed. But her growing attraction to her new husband made the no-intimacy rule all the more unwelcome.

He could find us at any moment and I imagine him dragging me all the way back by my hair. I didn't know who to trust but sometimes you just have to take a leap. Maybe, with a little luck, I will find the one thing I have been missing and be saved. One could dream, but for now, I'll keep running.

Loving him wasn't meant to hurt. Sebastian Cole was my first everything. My childhood best friend, my high school sweetheart, and the boy I gave my heart and my body to. Then he vanished without a word, leaving me with memories that felt like lies. Years later, I serve him a drink in a town I randomly chose, in a life I never wanted. He looks the same, feels the same, and is still swearing I'm his. I tell myself I'm stronger now. That I won't fall. I'm wrong. Because I don't know that he's powerful, ruthless, or that people whisper his name like a warning. By the time I learn the truth about who he really is, it's too late to run. Loving him again will cost me everything. I will soon learn the difference between a broken heart, and a cage disguised as paradise. <<<This is a toxic dark romance about obsession, betrayals, and the kind of love that survives only after the antihero makes sure there's no other option.>>>>

Adrian Moretti is a Don who built his empire on control, loyalty, and blood. In his world, love is a liability-and protection comes at a cost measured in bodies. He has survived by never letting anyone close enough to be used against him. Until Sora. Sora has spent her life running-from men who want to kill her, from secrets powerful enough to start wars, and from a past soaked in violence she never chose. Quiet but resilient, she knows how to survive in the shadows. When their worlds collide, Adrian becomes her shield-and in doing so, breaks every rule he lives by. Protecting Sora draws the attention of Viktor, a brutal russian boss whose reach is absolute and whose methods are merciless. One warehouse burns. Lines are crossed. War becomes inevitable. But Sora refuses to remain hidden while others bleed for her. When Viktor targets Adrian's family, she makes a choice that drags her directly into the war-risking her life to save the people she's come to love. In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Adrian and Sora become each other's greatest weakness-and their deadliest strength. Love is no longer a luxury. It's a declaration of war.
