Thalia Langley vanished ten years ago-just another pregnant teenager swallowed by the dark, clutching a secret that could get her killed. Now, she lives on the fringes, raising her daughter in silence, always running, always hiding. Because monsters don't stay buried forever. Hers wears a Russian name-and a bloodstained legacy.
Then he finds her.
A man with a storm in his eyes and ruin in his hands. He drinks whiskey like water and leans on drugs like crutches, a fragile framework holding back the chaos he barely contains. His voice is smoke and broken glass, his touch too rough to be kind, and his eyes-those wild, ocean-blue eyes-burn with a madness Thalia isn't sure she wants to join.
He sees through her lies. Watches her like prey. And he doesn't ask questions-because he already knows too much.
She knows he's not safe.
But danger has a heartbeat, and it's starting to sound like his.
Now the Russians are circling, the past is breaking through the walls she built, and the man who shouldn't care is the only one who sees her. If he finds out what she's hiding-who she's protecting?
It won't just be her soul that's devoured.
It'll be everything.

The Way He Saw Her
He wasn't supposed to see her again. Not after everything burned to ashes, not after he buried that part of his life deep beneath Moscow's frozen silence. But one glimpse-just one-through the blur of city traffic, and she was there. Her face, a memory he never managed to forget. Her eyes, the ghost that still kept him awake. For years, he's watched her from afar-quietly, carefully, dangerously. Not out of love. Not entirely. Because sometimes obsession doesn't start with desire-it starts with a memory that refuses to fade. And now that he's back... she's about to learn that some ghosts never stop following you. He's the kind of man you notice twice - once because you feel his presence before you see him, and again because you wish you hadn't. Born in Russia, the heir of the Morozov legacy. Mikhail Morozov, raised in silence and scars, he learned early that the world doesn't reward softness. He speaks little, but when he does, his words cut clean - precise, deliberate, dangerous. He moves like someone who's always calculating, never surprised. The kind of man whose calmness makes you uneasy. There's something about him that doesn't belong anywhere - not in the light, not in love, not even in the life he's trying to rebuild. But the moment he saw her again, everything he had buried began to surface. The danger, the desire, the memories - all of it. Now, he's not chasing her. He's remembering her... and that might be even worse.
