Dorothessa Valençay has always been a woman of grace and ambition. Her beauty matched only by her sharp mind and unwavering discipline. From pageant stages to athletic fields, she conquers every arena with poise and brilliance. But her carefully controlled world is about to collide with one she never imagined. Acrisius Korrigan is a man forged by conflict, a dominant force in a world ruled by violence, power, and unspoken rules. Handsome, commanding, and unyielding, he is the kind of man who bends the world to his will. And Dorothessa has no place in it. Yet fate, and perhaps desire, has other plans. In a universe of gunpowder, blood, and ambition, Dorothessa's light refuses to be extinguished. And for the first time, Acrisius finds himself confronted with something he cannot conquer: a woman who challenges him, captivates him, and awakens a part of him long thought buried. In a world where power dominates and love is a battlefield, they must navigate the fragile line between passion and destruction. But some wars leave marks that nothing, neither time nor violence can erase. What war could not break... is the love that neither of them expected.
