She feared the dark and escaped it. He ruled the dark and lived in it. Zarah: I've spent my entire life in the spotlight, living up to the facade of the perfect Romano Princess, turning a blind eye to the dark, twisted world of the wicked. Nobody ever saw through me... except him. Logan Ivan Markov, the paragon of morally gray; an intelligent criminal lawyer and agent. He was charming, deadly, and a devious manipulator sitting in expensive tailored suits, playing the part of an ethical and calculative attorney. Those who knew him knew the dangers of a man like Logan. But not me. He was a puzzle I couldn't solve, a message I couldn't decode, a mystery I couldn't unravel, the oblivion I chased. I knew from the moment I met him that we were destined to animosity, to stay far apart. But our bickering and fate had other plans. I never expected to get wrapped up in the dark world of corruption and billionaires; I never expected to need saving, but most of all, I never expected Logan to save me, let alone marry me. ... Logan: All my life, I've lived in the dark and twisted world of corruption, danger, and betrayal. Most people knew the life I came with. The murders, the money, and the brutality. Most people... except her. Zarah Amaira Romano was the bane of my existence from the moment I met her. She was the embodiment of chaos, someone who made me feel too much, someone I couldn't erase after a single night together. She could bring me to ruins if she tried. I knew from the moment we met that Zarah was more dangerous than any bullet or dagger to the heart, she was worse than any drug. I knew if I got too close, she'd be the fire that burned me. The oblivion I would crave. But when she became the key to all the secrets I spent my life trying to unravel, I knew what I had to do. I never expected to get involved with her again. She was too bright, too passionate... untainted. Until she became my wife.

She has everything she ever dreamed of: A degree from the world's most prestigious perfumery school. A blossoming career as a master perfumer. A coveted position at a rising niche fragrance house - Maison Caeluna - handpicked by none other than Kim Namjoon's wife herself. On paper, she is success distilled - brilliant, accomplished, fulfilled. And yet, she wakes each morning with the bitter trace of something missing... A hollow space no fragrance can fill. A silence no note can mask. He has everything the world adores: Fame. Fortune. A stage that roars his name. A brotherhood that stands unshaken beside him. The endless label of "sunshine" etched into the fabric of his image. But no one ever asks why the sun disappears when it's alone. No one wonders what it costs to shine for everyone else. When their paths cross, it isn't loud. It's the hush before a storm, the trace of a scent that clings longer than it should. She carries herself like a rare accord - layered, precise, untouchable. He burns too bright to be looked at directly. But something lingers. Not in words. Not in looks. In the silence between inhale and exhale - where the true fragrance reveals itself. And once it does, neither of them can go back to what came before. "The first breath may captivate, but it's the last note that reveals what's truly hidden beneath." *** Book 4 of the True Love series ***
