9 parts Ongoing MatureThrown away by the people who were supposed to protect her, Zara has learned to survive on the streets-hungry, hunted, and unseen. She's fast, clever, and stronger than anyone gives her credit for. But even the strongest can break.
When a chance encounter leaves her battered and unconscious, she wakes up not under a bridge... but inside the mansion of a man feared across the city. Eli Moretti is rich, ruthless, and colder than the steel that built his empire. He doesn't want her there. He doesn't want to care. And yet-something about the guarded girl with fire in her eyes refuses to let him walk away.
Two broken worlds collide in a place where danger rules every shadow. He's the devil she should fear. She's the secret he never expected.
And in the silence between them, a war begins-between past and future, survival and surrender, hate and something terrifyingly close to love.
