21 year old Sophie Garner is living with her dad- a gambling addict with thousands in debt. One morning she stumbles into a meeting her father is having with a man she's never seen before.
He's captivating, commands the room without even having to speak.
They spoke money, but the stranger wasn't unaware of her presence.
One flash of his charming grin later, Sophie finds herself increasingly attached to him, blindly following him into his dark and dangerous life...

"Sophie..."
I blushed, the way he said my name was so... possessive. "Max, what're you really trying to ask me?"
His usual charming grin vanished, leaving behind a darkness he scarcely revealed to me.
"...If I hurt you Sophie, will you stay?"

The Broken Girl!
Sophie Black is twenty, but she's lived through more than most people twice her age. Trapped in a house that feels more like a prison than a home, she's learned to survive in silence-swallowing pain, hiding scars, and trying to forget a past that never stops chasing her. Then Brandon Salvatore walks in. He's older. Dangerous. Untouchable. A man who rules the criminal underworld with cold precision-and eyes that see straight through Sophie's defenses. Brandon doesn't ask. He decides. And when he decides Sophie belongs to him, nothing will stop him from taking her. She knows he's trouble. He's too controlling, too lethal, and far too off-limits. But when the world has already broken you, danger doesn't scare you-it calls to you. As Sophie is pulled deeper into Brandon's violent world, everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and power begins to shift. He's possessive, ruthless, and infuriating-but he's also the first person who's ever truly seen her. And once you're seen, you can't go back to being invisible. This is a dark, twisted love story about survival, obsession, and the kind of love that doesn't ask for permission. It's not sweet. It's not safe. But neither is Sophie. Not anymore.
