Violent Devotion

Kadia Emerson has built a reputation on one simple rule: history doesn't care who wants to rewrite it.

As one of the most respected freelance museum curators in the world, she's made a career out of questioning what everyone else accepts. So when an anonymous historical foundation offers her an extraordinary fee to authenticate a private collection hidden somewhere in Los Angeles, curiosity wins over caution.

She expects priceless artifacts.

She doesn't expect Syrus Alore.

Publicly, he's a philanthropist whose museums, hospitals, and restaurants span continents. Privately, he's the heir to something far older, far more powerful, and infinitely more dangerous than she could have imagined.

As centuries-old secrets buried inside the world's largest private archive begin to unravel, professional admiration turns into undeniable attraction. But history has always demanded a price, and some discoveries were never meant to leave the shadows.

Because the closer Kadia gets to the truth...

the closer she gets to the man who would burn the world before letting it take her.
