A dark romance of chains, loyalty, and desire that cuts deeper than blood. Seraphina Harte never chose him. Bound by a contract meant to erase her father's crushing debts, she's forced into the hands of Kaius Driscoll-the eldest son of the family her father owes everything to. Ruthless. Untouchable. The boy who once turned her childhood into a battlefield... now a man who holds her future in his fist. Moving into the Driscoll estate isn't temporary. It's forever. The contract ties her to him-body, name, freedom. What begins as a cage becomes a warzone, one where Kaius intends to break her resistance piece by piece until she bends. But Seraphina isn't the same girl who once flinched under his cruelty. She has fire in her veins and defiance on her tongue-and for every chain he wraps around her, she finds a way to make him burn. In the gilded halls of the Driscoll estate, loyalty is tested, secrets sharpen into weapons, and desire becomes its own punishment. Enemies turn into something darker, something more dangerous than either of them imagined. Because in Kaius Driscoll's world, love doesn't come soft. It comes with teeth.

What if a cat and a dog tolerate each other? Not in peace--obviously--but in wildly dysfunctional harmony. That's Seraphina and Kai-she strikes first with chaos and claws, he retaliates with passive-aggressive sarcasm and emotional warfare. It's not a romance. It's a tactical battlefield with feelings. For as long as they can remember, Seraphina Voss and Kai Sterling have been locked in elite-level rivalry. Not the flirty kind. No---this is cold-war chaos between two rich kids raised like family (ew), trapped in the same social circles (double ew), and trained in the fine art of mutual sabotage. But when one dramatic arrest pushes their families over the edge, they're given the worst punishment imaginable: working together. In the same office. With real jobs. Corporate hell---but make it personal. To make matters worse, they've both caught feelings for other people. Desperate to escape each other and this soul-sucking job, they strike a deal: Seraphina helps Kai win his "perfect" girl. Kai plays wingman for Seraphina's dream guy. Clean. Simple. Foolproof. Until it all starts falling apart, thanks to office warfare, many "accidental" double dates, and emotionally violent wars in silence. Because somewhere between strategic humiliation and whatever emotionally compromising event just went down, they might be falling for the one person they hate the most. And it's not about who falls first. It's how they fall. ⚠️ Contains verbal combat, morally questionable pranks, dangerously slow-burning tension, and at least one chair thrown in the name of love. © Hazel Brown. All rights reserved.
