Even Grace gets scars when it meets Grit. He's the Grit-sharp mind, colder heart, a man shaped by violence and dangerous to love. She's the Grace-selfless, healing, and drawn to the shadows he hides behind. What begins as attraction burns into obsession, unearthing the past he's tried to bury. Their love isn't soft-it's a storm, one that blurs the line between devotion and destruction. Every secret he keeps pulls her deeper; every truth she uncovers cuts a little closer to the bone. In a city pulsing with danger and desire, love becomes both their refuge and their ruin. And when survival collides with emotion, they'll learn that even grace can bleed... and even grit can break.
