Knox Ryder is a man shaped by pain and rebellion, forged in the shadow of a father who broke him. Once a promising young boy with dreams, he's now a dangerous and volatile figure, living fast and recklessly in the underground racing scene. Speed, adrenaline, and chaos are his escape, offering fleeting relief from the memories he can't outrun.
Hard drugs, alcohol, and fleeting connections fill the void within him, but nothing ever lasts. Magnetic yet self-destructive, Ace is the kind of man people are drawn to despite the danger he carries. Beneath his reckless charm lies a fractured soul, teetering on the edge of destruction, searching for meaning in a world that's only ever let him down.
Nova Grey was broken long before she had the chance to grow whole. A traumatic event stole her innocence, and in the same cruel stroke, she lost the only people who ever truly cared for her. Alone in a world that offered no comfort, she was forced to fend for herself far too young. Stripping became her way of surviving, while alcohol and drugs dulled the sharp edges of her pain.
Her beauty is striking, but her eyes betray the loneliness and despair she keeps buried beneath layers of bravado. She moves through life like a ghost, haunted by her past but unable to escape it. Vulnerable yet fiercely independent, she doesn't see a way out of the life she's built, nor does she believe she deserves one. For now, she exists in the shadows, a survivor in a world that's left her with nothing but scars.

When Sienna discovers she's been promised to the ruthless Mafia Don, Blade Armani, since birth, she's determined to escape the fate forced upon her-even if it means running across borders.
But Blade is a man who takes what he wants, by any means necessary. And Sienna is the one thing he craves above all.
No matter how far she runs or how well she hides, escape is impossible. Because when Blade wants something, he will always come for it... and for her.
Blade may be a cold-hearted monster, the devil himself, but even the devil was once a saint, haunted by a past that carved his heart into ice.
Sienna doesn't believe in love, yet she can't ignore the undeniable pull, the magnetic attraction that draws her to Blade.
What happens when she falls for him and uncovers the broken man hidden beneath his facade? Will she melt the ice around his heart... or make it colder than ever?
