Mira never wanted trouble-she just wanted a quiet life, warm mornings, and peace. But the night she opens a sealed envelope from a frightened coworker, she becomes a target. Strangers watch her. Shadows follow her. Her world tilts into chaos.
Then there's Lucian Veyras. Cold. Determined. A man whose name opens doors...and closes throats.
He swears he's the only one who can protect her. She swears she'll never belong to anyone.
But when powerful enemies close in and every truth comes wrapped in lies, Mira is left questioning everything she believed about loyalty, fate, and the man whose touch she should fear-but can't forget.

Lucian, a being woven from darkness and desire, was sent to claim her soul. Bound to the Abyss, he is a hunter of wayward fates-a creature with no heart, no mercy. Yet, something about Seraphina unsettles him, tempts him, makes him hunger in ways he shouldn't. She is not just a mortal. And he is not just her executioner. As their fates intertwine, Seraphina finds herself trapped in a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and power. Lucian is both her captor and her obsession, his touch sinful, his presence inescapable. But there are greater forces at play-forces that want her dead, and Lucian broken. In the end, one of them must fall. But will it be to darkness-or to desire?Complete
