She was already broken. He just gave her a reason to bleed louder. Cassandra Potter has never known safety. She grew up with fists for lullabies and silence as survival. Her scars are old, buried, and stitched shut until she meets Alexander Barret. He doesn't offer kindness. He doesn't care for her comfort. He wants obedience. Her on her knees, wearing his ropes and his name. He's rich, violent, and bored, until her. Because Cassandra doesn't break the way other girls do. And Alex... Alex only falls for the kind of girl who bleeds beautifully. In his world, punishment tastes like pleasure, and love is a slow form of ruin. And Cassie? She's about to learn what it means to be owned by a man who has nothing left to lose except the girl who was never his to begin with. She should run. But monsters always recognize each other in the dark. In a world where innocence is currency and control is the highest form of affection, Book Three is not a love story. It's a war between broken things that never learned to bleed quietly.
