Seventeen-year-old Anaria Ashbourne has always lived a life of devotion-prayers whispered into the night, Sundays spent in church, a purity ring a silent promise of a future she's never questioned. Her family fears what she doesn't yet see: a darkness that walks beside her, clothed in sophistication, danger, and a power older than the world itself.

Michael is an archangel of Heaven, a warrior forged in fire and blood, bound to fight and to claim. He is everything Anaria has been taught to resist: ruthless, captivating, and unyielding. But when he crosses into her life, the world she knows begins to crumble. Purity becomes a battlefield, innocence a temptation. Each touch, each word, pulls her deeper into a game she cannot win, where obedience and desire are indistinguishable.

As Michael slowly corrupts her, Anaria must confront a terrifying truth: belonging to him is not a choice-it is surrender. And surrender comes at a cost.
