Subterranean Hearts

Beneath the earth, in a labyrinthine fortress where stolen youth are hidden from the world, Jessica rises as their queen-a poised, cunning survivor ruling over a society that should never exist. She carves order from chaos with iron resolve, but her heart remains haunted by betrayal and a longing she dares not name.

Jaeson is everything she should despise: a beautiful, decadent playboy who once wore his arrogance like armor. Yet from the moment their eyes meet, an electric hunger binds them-part war, part seduction. As secrets unravel and old wounds bleed anew, Tom's reckless desire for her collides with the shadows of his past, forcing him toward a redemption he never imagined he'd crave.

In the dark, forbidden corridors, they fight for control-over the fortress, over each other, and over the fragile hope that love might still bloom in captivity.
