Blood and Honor
I never questioned the life I was living. A rising ballerina. A penthouse overlooking New York. A powerful, wealthy father, and Kayce. My brother, my best friend. It started with a stranger in the shadows. A man who watched me from across the street, vanishing the moment I looked his way. Something about him felt familiar, like fate pulling us together. And then the cracks began to show. A masquerade ball cloaked in secrets. Whispers of betrayal. My brother's sudden disappearance, and the devastating truth that shattered everything I thought I knew. Now, nothing was safe. Not my family. Not the world I trusted. Not even my heart. There were secrets buried beneath the glittering surface of my life. And that mysterious man in the shadows? He may be the only one who could help me uncover the truth, even if trusting him changed everything. In a world ruled by Blood and Honor, trust is the deadliest choice of all.Complete
