Averlei, a quiet girl with a broken past, never imagined her life would entangle with danger-until she met him. Dorian, a cold, magnetic man with ties to the mafia, draws her in like a flame lures a moth. At first, he's intoxicating: protective, charming, and impossibly attentive. He calls her "Red," tells her she burns, makes her feel seen for the first time in her life. But the spark quickly turns to smoke. Dorian isn't just intense-he's possessive, manipulative, and terrifyingly controlling. He isolates Averlei, dictates her every move, and demands loyalty like it's oxygen. What felt like love becomes a gilded cage. Even when she finds a glimmer of safety in someone new-a gentle man named Elias-Dorian doesn't let go. Love, to him, is a weapon. And when she dares to move on, he reminds her what it costs to cross a man like him. This is not just a love story. It's a chilling descent into obsession, control, and survival-a tale of a girl trying to reclaim herself from the man who vowed never to lose her.
