In a home where love is reserved for someone else, Anya Carter survives in silence. Ignored by her parents, overshadowed by her perfect sister, and burdened with every chore and insult, Anya still chooses kindness. She dreams not of escape, but of connection-of being seen, heard, and cherished.
But the world has never been kind to girls like her.
When her father attempts to forge a dangerous business alliance with Mikhail Volkov, the ruthless young head of the world's most powerful criminal empire, all eyes are on Anya's glamorous sister to seal the deal. Until Mikhail sees something no one else does-a quiet girl with a fire he never expected.
Mikhail has lived his life surrounded by blood, betrayal, and shadows. Love was never part of the plan. But there's something about Anya's softness that shakes the foundations of his brutal empire-and his heart.
He was never meant to feel.
She was never meant to matter.
And yet, in a world where darkness reigns, she might just be the only light he never knew he needed.

Now, she carries that hatred like a second skin. Silas Draven Romano doesn't make mistakes. He eliminates them. Crowned emperor of the Romano empire, his silence speaks violence, and mercy is not in his blood. But when a furious hurricane wrapped in blue eyes and venomous grace costs him a years-long target, she earns a place on his blacklist-and maybe under his skin. They're not lovers. They're not allies. They're two storms on a collision course-violent, unforgiving, and bound by a past soaked in secrets. Hatred is the game. Obsession is the weapon. And love?
