Daffodil was born into chaos - the unwanted daughter of a reckless biker and a bitter club girl. Cast aside, betrayed, and forced to survive a brutal childhood, Daffodil spent her early years fighting battles no child should face. Betrayed by the father she worshipped, humiliated by the boy she once loved, she learned early that love was a lie. When her only source of light, her baby brother Nate, comes into her life, Daffodil becomes both sister and protector. But one act of violence tears them apart from the only world they've known.
Twelve years later, Daffodil has risen from the ashes. No longer the broken, lonely girl of the past, she has become a powerful, untouchable force - the head of a fashion empire, admired, feared, and envied. With Nate thriving under her fierce protection, Daffodil has built a life so dazzling that even her old enemies can only watch from afar.
But when Blaze - the father who betrayed her - learns the devastating truth he was too blind to see, he comes searching for the children he abandoned. Torn between rage and the little brother who dreams of knowing his real father, Daffodil is forced back into the world that once destroyed her.
A story of survival, vengeance, and healing, and most importantly about a woman who refused to stay broken - a woman who made the world bow to her strength, and who will never again let anyone decide her worth.
Nineteen-year-old Sloane Vale has spent her life outrunning shadows-her mother's lies, her own silence, and the incident that shattered their relationship forever. Now, after her mother's fifth marriage, Sloane is dragged into a world she never asked to enter: high society, old money, and a secret circle of power that runs the city from behind masked galas and blood-soaked contracts.
She shows up on a motorcycle, all leather, scars, and fake smiles-and immediately disrupts everything.
Especially him.
Her new stepbrother, West Callahan-cold, perfect, untouchable.
And his friends:
Jude, who smiles while he breaks things.
Beckett, who hides his pain in brutal art.
Rhys, who runs the society like a king with a golden noose.
They're all older.
They're all dangerous.
And they're all bound to each other by secrets Sloane isn't supposed to know-or want.
But Sloane doesn't follow rules.
Not when they belong to the people who tried to bury her once.
Not when every kiss tastes like defiance.
Not when every lie she unravels brings her closer to the truth... and the boys who would burn the world to keep her.
As their obsession turns deadly and their twisted society demands loyalty above love, Sloane has to decide:
Will she destroy them from the inside out-or claim them as hers first?
