In the neon-lit heart of New York's elite society, where power wore tailored suits and secrets whispered through diamond chandeliers, Hermit Kingston reigned supreme. The youngest billionaire in the country, Hermit was a name that evoked awe, fear, and wild admiration. With chiseled features, storm-gray eyes, and a temperament as unreadable as his past, he was untouchable-until she arrived.
Amazon Elara Rivers stepped off the bus from the sleepy village of Tarrow Glen with nothing but a suitcase of worn clothes, a battered violin, and a pair of haunting emerald eyes that held more fire than any city light. Her ginger hair, unruly and wild like her spirit, was her mother's legacy. Her poverty-her father's debt-was her burden.
A few weeks ago, her world had been filled with the scent of pine, village festivals, and dreams of studying music. But dreams cost money. Her father, desperate to save their home, had borrowed from a city devil-the Kingston Empire. And when he couldn't repay, Hermit Kingston came to collect. The deal was cruelly simple: Amazon would live in his estate until the debt was paid off in full. Not as a servant. Not as a guest. As collateral.
Thrown into Blackvale High-an elite school for the children of the rich and ruthless-Amazon became an anomaly. Her innocence clashed with designer egos. Her fiery comebacks earned her both admirers and enemies. But it was her stubborn refusal to be tamed that caught Hermit's eye.
He hadn't expected her to fight him on everything-from the way he ran his house, to the silent pain in his gaze. She was a tempest, and Hermit, who had known only calculated calm, found himself unraveling and a secret he guarded even from himself.
Their love was inevitable. But it was not safe.
Savage is a story of contrasts-of a poor village girl taming the coldest heart in the city, of love born in the cruellest deal, and of two souls healing each other in a world where everything has a price.
