Celeste Moretti has always known the world of power, blood, and betrayal. But when someone begins sending her cryptic notes, roses dipped in red ink, and photos from inside her own home, her cold, carefully crafted world begins to crack. She doesn't know his name. Only that he watches. And waits. But when the two rival families are forced into a reluctant alliance, she finally meets him-Adrian Volkov. The man who knows her better than anyone else ever could. The man who's already decided she belongs to him. The catch? He's not trying to woo her. He's trying to own her. And he'll burn the entire world down if anyone stands in his way.
