He's a billionaire collector of beautiful, dangerous things. Now, he's collected me.
When morally gray anti-hero Kairos Thorne hires me to authenticate a painting, I see a payday. He sees a pawn. He's a damaged sovereign of a shadow empire-ruthless, feared, and devastatingly captivating. I'm an art historian in over my head, and the forced proximity in his penthouse is a gilded cage I can't escape.
His offer is a devil's bargain: my freedom for my expertise on his collection. But this captive romance is more than a job. It's a slow burn of whispered secrets and possessive obsession. He's my alpha hero jailer, my protector, and the man who makes me feel alive with a single, grumpy sunshine glance. He thinks he's beyond redemption, but I see the man beneath the scars.
When his enemy targets me, this powerful CEO reveals his true nature. The touch her and die trope isn't a fantasy-it's a promise. To survive, we must trust the passion igniting between us. This emotional, steamy romance is a fight for a second chance at life and love.
Fans of intense romantic suspense and billionaire obsession will be hooked.
