He was never meant to be mine. But when fate gave me a way in, I stayed. Alexander Kensington was born with everything, wealth, grace, legacy. But beneath the perfection lies ruin. A past no one sees. Scars no one touches. A soul quietly unraveling. When his twin sister vanishes days before her arranged marriage, Alexander is forced to take her place, an act of duty that sends him straight into the orbit of Atlas King. Dangerous. Unforgiving. Trapped in a world of violence and shadows. Atlas was never supposed to want him but Alexander was never supposed to feel like home. What begins as cold tension turns into something far more devastating. A slow, aching pull neither of them can escape. In stolen moments and fractured nights, two men learn to choose each other over and over again, even when the world demands they don't. But love, like ruin, leaves its mark and some scars were made to be worshipped.

I was designed to vanish. No fingerprints. No attachments. No mistakes. Undercover work wasn't just my job-it was who I was. A shadow trained by the darkest hands. A weapon with no soul left to burn. They told me emotions made you weak. That loyalty was earned in blood. That love was a myth for people who didn't know how to survive. And I believed them. Until a mission blurred the lines. Until the lies started to feel like truths. Until something-or someone-made me question everything I was trained to forget. Now I'm not sure what's more dangerous... The target I was sent to destroy, or the part of myself I might never get back.
