🔥 Story Premise
Sera Wynn is the kind of girl everyone underestimates-quiet, polite, invisible. But she's hiding a dangerous secret. After years of training in silence under her father's brutal hand, she's one of the most lethal fighters in an underground network of vigilante mercenaries.
She's supposed to be invisible.
But Kade Mercer sees her.
Scarred, tattooed, and cold as stone, Kade doesn't belong anywhere. Rumors swirl around him-murderer, hacker, arms dealer. He doesn't care. He doesn't need anyone.
Until he sees her fight.
He wasn't supposed to want her.
But he does.
And he doesn't share.
As Sera's quiet life collapses and enemies close in, she finds herself drawn into Kade's dark world. He's dangerous. Obsessive. Possessive. And now that he's claimed her-he won't let go.
Even if it means burning down the world to keep her.
