In the shadows of passion

Athena Alessandra Lopez was forged by the cruelty of her past. Taken by her aunt and sold into a nightmare, she learned to survive in a world that sought to break her. Resilient and sharp, she became a master of manipulation, a skill honed to protect herself from those who sought to control her. With a striking beauty that turned heads and a mind as sharp as her wit, Athena wasn't just a survivor-she was a force to be reckoned with.

What happens when she uncovers the truth about her past?

His hands, marked by violence, carried the weight of his sins, and his mere presence commanded respect-and terror.

But what happens when he meets the one woman who refuses to fall for his charm? The only one he desires but cannot claim?
