Mira's an orphan with nothing but a hunger for the life she's never had-money, power, excess. Nine months ago, she found her ticket: selling her body for cash no 9-to-5 could touch. She's good-cold, in control-until Silas, a client with too much money and a fractured mind, turns her world into a cage. One night becomes a nightmare when he locks her away, his "love" a fist and a chain. Starved, beaten, and pushed past breaking, Mira's forced to beg for scraps-at the cost of her flesh. He's a psycho with a appetite, and she's his meal. But Mira's not done. In a rotting asylum of secrets, where walls whisper and blood stains deep, she's clawing for a way out-or a way to burn it all down. This isn't a love story; it's a fight to survive. Expect bruises, screams, and a girl who'll bleed before she bends. Ready for the dark? Dive in-if you can handle it.

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
