At six years old, Anaszi hawthorn was trafficked by someone her family trusted.
Now, at Thirty-Two, she's a sergeant leading a covert task force built to hunt the same kind of predators who once stole her childhood.
With clearance that outranks local authorities and a mission that crosses state and international lines, Anaszi and her team specialize in taking down high-level trafficking networks-quietly, surgically, and with zero tolerance for failure.
But when a case hits too close to home, triggering memories she's buried deep, Anaszi is forced to confront her past in order to save others. The deeper she digs, the more she uncovers a network darker and more familiar than she ever imagined-one that may still have ties to the man who hurt her and the system that failed her.
This isn't just justice. It's personal.
"Some of us survived. Some of us didn't. Either way, it come with a cost."

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

The snow never forgets. That's the first thing they learned when they found her- half-dead, half-shadow, and entirely silent. She wore a scar like a warning. She had no name... or too many. And her eyes? Storm-grey. Unbothered. Unblinking. Unforgiving. They chained her. Whipped her. Tried to break her open like a confession. She smiled instead. They said she was a terrorist. A spy. A ghost. No one knew the truth. But when word spread that he was coming- The Director. The Ghost Hunter. Even the storm outside quieted. Because some stories aren't just secrets. They're scars with a heartbeat. And this one? It started with a girl on her knees... and ends when they both stop breathing.Complete
