She wanted freedom.
He was paid to take it from her.

After escaping a cold, glittering marriage built on control and deceit, Elara Knox swore she'd never let another man own her. But when one reckless night with a dangerously captivating stranger ignites something she thought she'd lost. Desire, trust, hope and her past comes back with a vengeance.

Her ex-husband wants her silenced. Permanently.
And the man hired to end her life... is the one she never forgot.

As Elara runs from the shadows closing in, secrets begin to unravel, ones that tie her to her would-be killer in ways neither of them could have imagined. When the price on her head climbs to twenty thousand dollars, survival means choosing who to trust, and who to destroy.

In a world built on betrayal, love could be the most dangerous lie of all.

Fleeing into the heart of a cursed forest, Elara must confront the mistakes of her past while unlocking the true extent of her magical power. Her only ally? Her estranged brother, Aedan, whose loyalty is as fractured as her trust. But shadows twist in the woods, and not all enemies wear masks. With Ares closing in, Elara must decide: will she keep running from her fate, or will she finally stand and fight for her freedom-even if it means facing the monster she once called husband? Power. Control. Betrayal. In a world where even gods have limits, Elara is determined to break them all. Her body, mind, and soul are hers-and she's willing to burn the world to prove it.

Sienna Carter had her life planned out-a quiet job as a librarian, a cozy apartment, and a loving boyfriend, Ethan, who talked about marriage and a future filled with stability. She was content, safe, and far removed from the world of crime and violence. But everything shatters when her father-a struggling businessman-falls into massive debt with the Romano crime family. With no way to pay, the debt collectors don't take money; they take loyalty. The solution? A contract marriage between Sienna and the powerful, ruthless mafia boss, Dante Romano. Dante has built his empire on control and strategy. This marriage isn't about love-it's about power, influence, and making sure his enemies know that loyalty to him comes before all else. He expects obedience, not defiance. But Sienna is unlike anyone he's ever met. She refuses to bow to his world, to the dark underbelly of crime she's been forced into. And, most of all, she refuses to forget Ethan-the man she was supposed to spend forever with. At first, Sienna resents Dante, clinging to memories of the life she lost. But as time passes, the lines blur. She starts to see beyond the ruthless exterior-the man who reads poetry in secret, who carries the weight of an empire on his shoulders, and who, despite his power, seems just as trapped as she is. Ethan fights to get her back, but the more she learns about Dante, the harder it becomes to ignore the unexpected pull between them. Is her heart betraying her? Or was love never as simple as she once believed? In a world where love is a liability and loyalty is life or death, Sienna must choose: Hold on to the man who once promised her forever or risk everything for the one she never expected to love.
