Darling, Don't flinch

In a world where empires rise on blood and fall in silence, Evelyn Esguerra is not supposed to survive.
Eighteen years old. A captive. A forgotten daughter.
And the keeper of secrets powerful enough to burn continents.
Dragged into the frozen heart of Siberia, Evelyn becomes a prize in a ruthless game of power ruled by Richard Rodgers, a man who believes mercy is weakness and control is destiny. The snow watches. The forest listens. And escape is a lie told to keep prisoners obedient.
Until Aalric Vale.
Cold-eyed. Battle-trained. Bound by vows he never breaks.
The youngest Army Commander of Western Russia and a man who has never allowed emotion to interfere with duty... until her.
Thrown together by betrayal, hunted through ice-bound forests, stalked by wolves both human and wild, Evelyn and Aalric must survive a world that wants them erased. Every step forward costs blood. Every moment of closeness threatens the walls they've built around themselves.
This is not a soft love story.
This is fear, survival, loyalty, and fire.
This is what happens when a girl who refuses to bow collides with a man who was never meant to fall.
Are you ready to enter in this high stake's world?
Because if you did...
There will be no going back
