Collateral Hearts

She wasn't meant to see him kill.
He wasn't meant to let her live.
And now, she's the only thing that could destroy him.

When Evelyn Hayes vanishes after witnessing something she never should have seen, her best friend Sera refuses to believe she simply disappeared. Her search leads her to the infamous Black brothers-Adrian, the empire's ruthless king, and Lucian, his charming right hand.

Adrian rules with blood on his hands and steel in his veins-until Evelyn - bright , fragile , too good for his world- becomes his obsession.The one sin he can't bury .

Lucian lives for the game-until Sera, the journalist with fire in her eyes, turns his lies into headlines and his control into chaos.

Two brothers bound by power.
Two women who were never supposed to cross their paths .
And a secret ledger - that could destroy it all .

Love wasn't a part of the deal .
She was his obsession. A ray of light in his dark world - definitely forbidden but he craved her like air .
.
And to him , she was just a part of his games .A player worth playing with as long as it amused him . Nothing more .
.
But how long can it stay that way before either they fall together or fall apart ?
