anjvalentine ethanramsey missworld openheart

After winning the Miss World crown, Anj Valentine discovers the empire beneath the diamonds, where beauty is currency, obedience is expected, and survival depends on silence.

Assigned to protect her is Ethan Ramsey, a stoic ex-soldier whose duty is clear: keep her alive, keep his distance.
But the longer he guards her, the thinner the line between protection and possession becomes.

Threats stalk them from the shadows, predators in suits, secrets buried beneath champagne and politics. Yet the most dangerous risk is the one neither of them can resist: each other.

Their love is forbidden. Their world is corrupt.
And once they cross the line, there's no turning back.All Rights Reserved

"Your body speaks louder than your words,"- he said adamantly. "Your beautiful face is trying to hide emotions, but your eyes are giving you away." He got even closer.

"Afraid of me? Why are you so afraid, princess?" He placed his hand on the wall next to her head, effectively trapping her between his body and the cold stone. "I'm not afraid of you," she lied, her voice steady despite the tremble in her hands. "I'm not afraid of anything." He chuckled darkly. "You should be." His lips barely brushed against hers in a tantalizingly soft touch. She was frozen in the spot, her mind a chaos of escape thoughts, but her body refusing to carry her away. It was like he took advantage of her daze, closing the remaining gap and crushing his lips against hers. _________________ In a corrupted world full of superficial and greedy people, in a world driven by lust and desire, Regan's thoughts and actions are alien to most. She feels like an outsider amidst a blur of faces that mirror the very disdain she holds for society. But she's not naive. And what will happen when she's thrust into the heart of the very system she despises, into the claws of a terrifying, demonic beast who happens to not want just her body, but her soul?

But when escape feels impossible and Makai's silence cuts deeper than any blade, she must decide whether to fight for freedom-or surrender to the darkness that's always waited beneath.
