Trigger Me Gently

Some monsters don't hide in the dark, they wear suits, kiss like sin, and hold your heart like a loaded gun.

When Ember Vale infiltrates a mafia auction in disguise, all she wants is a name tied to her father's disappearance. What she finds is Lucien Vairo, the billionaire heir to a blood-soaked empire, and the last man who should know she exists.

But Lucien does more than recognize her. He claims her. Cages her in a penthouse dressed like a palace. And demands answers she doesn't know she's hiding.

Secrets buried with his dead brother link their pasts, but desire tangles their futures. Because the deeper Ember digs, the more she realizes Lucien's world isn't made of kings and crowns, it's made of broken people willing to kill for love... or burn for it.

And Lucien?
He was never looking for a queen.
Just someone worth starting a war for.
