​"I didn't just fall for her. I chose her. And I made sure she had no choice but to belong to me."
​Avelyn Thorne was a ghost in her own life, working shifts at a quiet corner café and trying to keep her family's head above water. She thought she was safe. She thought she was invisible.
​She was wrong.
​Zayan Moretti, the cold-blooded heir to the city's most brutal crime syndicate, has been watching. For six months, he's been a shadow in her periphery, a trace of danger she could never quite pin down. He didn't just want her; he was obsessed with the light she carried in a world as dark as his.
​When Avelyn's father signs away a debt he can't pay, Zayan finally claims his prize. But this isn't a business transaction-it's a coronation.
​Locked within the golden cage of the Moretti estate, Avelyn must navigate a world of blood, secrets, and a man who would burn the city to the ground just to keep her by his side. Zayan is a monster, but he's a monster who worships her.
​As the line between fear and desire blurs, Avelyn realizes that the most dangerous thing in the mansion isn't the rival families or the hidden guns... it's the heart of the man who refuses to let her go.
​The debt is paid. The obsession has just begun.
