The Devil You Let In: A Dark Contemporary Romance of Revenge, Power, and Dangerous Desire

Mara Voss has spent three years rebuilding her life after the night her powerful fiancé destroyed her reputation, her career, and nearly her freedom. Now she works in the shadows of Blackwater House, a private members' club where secrets are currency and no one asks why the wealthy arrive bleeding. Then Adrian Vale walks through the door. He is cold, controlled, and rumored to own half the city through favors no one dares refuse. He also knows exactly what Mara's ex did to her-and offers her a chance to make him pay. The price is one month under Adrian's protection, inside his world, where every touch feels like a threat and every threat sounds like a promise. Mara expects manipulation. She does not expect Adrian to give her choices, honor her boundaries, or reveal the ruin beneath his perfect composure. As old enemies close in and the evidence against them disappears, desire becomes a weapon neither can safely wield. To survive the game, Mara must decide whether Adrian is the monster she feared-or the only man willing to become one for her.
