He didn't ask for permission. He gave her an offer she couldn't refuse. Aria Vale doesn't belong to anyone. She's spent the last two years erasing her name, her past, and the man who left her for dead. Survival is all she knows-until he walks in. Cassian Draz. Ex-black ops. Cold-blooded. Untouchable. He's not a billionaire in a suit or a mafia prince with a soft spot. He's the kind of man who ends wars and disappears before the bodies hit the ground. And now? He wants her. Not for love. Not for trust. Because she's leverage in a game she never agreed to play. He offers her protection, money, and a clean escape. The price? 100 nights under his control. No questions. No limits. No lies. Aria knows better. She's been used before. But Cassian doesn't touch her like a man who's in control. He touches her like a man trying not to lose it. Their tension is a slow knife. Their chemistry is loaded. And when the ghosts from both their pasts come clawing back-Aria will have to decide what matters more: Her freedom-or his life.

Two years ago, the virus came - and the world broke. Seventeen-year-old Aria Vale survived when almost everyone her age died. What emerged from the virus is something no one can control. She can absorb pain and protect those she loves, but she can also inflict it - and with a touch, she can shatter bones like glass. Every heartbeat is a risk. Every touch could be lethal. Alone, hunted, and untouchable, she should have nothing to hold on to. Then she meets a ragtag group of survivors - broken, haunted, and alive. Among them is Jace, nineteen, a fierce and cautious survivor who sees her as a danger he cannot trust. But as they fight to survive together, the line between hatred and something deeper begins to blur. In a world where power decides life and death, Aria must learn to control the storm inside her... before it destroys everything she has left - and everyone she's come to call family.
