A novel of obsession, betrayal, and deadly choices.
Mira Hawthorn was never meant to survive.
Daughter of a convicted killer, orphaned by reputation, she's spent years rebuilding a life from ashes - one night shift, one university lecture, one heartbreak at a time. She doesn't cry anymore. Doesn't hope. She only works.
Until the morning she serves coffee to a stranger with ice in his eyes and too much interest in her bruised wrist.
Victor Julian Rashford has blood on his hands and empires at his feet. At twenty‑five, he's the youngest CEO in the Rashford dynasty - sharp press, sharp suits, and even sharper secrets. He wasn't supposed to notice the girl with haunted eyes behind the café counter or the girl who had screamed on TV. He wasn't supposed to care. But he does.
Then, he becomes the target.
He should stay away. He should hate her. But obsession doesn't ask permission. And when vengeance is the only legacy left, love becomes the most dangerous battlefield.
Perfect for fans of slow‑burn enemies‑to‑lovers, morally grey anti‑heroes, tragic heroines, and crime‑tinged romantic suspense.
