What Remains After Fire
In a city of neon-lit lies and blood-soaked loyalties, two men chase each other through the smoke-one for a microchip worth a kingdom, the other for the man he swore he'd never need. Dorian Cade is a former circus acrobat turned thrill-seeking thief, a man who hides his bruised soul behind reckless charm and a half-smile that dares the world to catch him. After stealing a chip powerful enough to shift global power, he becomes the hunted-by enemies, by ghosts, and by the one man he can't outrun. Lucian Vale is a strategist, a ghost of the intelligence world turned information kingpin, who never plays a hand he hasn't already mastered. Cold. Controlled. Unforgiving. But when Dorian slips through his fingers one too many times, Lucian's careful detachment begins to unravel into something far more volatile. As allies turn traitor and empires teeter on the edge, their game becomes more than survival. It becomes intimate. Twisted. Inevitable. In a world where everything has a price, Dorian and Lucian must decide what they're willing to burn for each other-missions, reputations, or themselves. Dark romance meets espionage thriller in a slow-burn explosion of lust, longing, and the kind of love that ruins men.Terminé
