He bought my survival. Now he wants to own my soul.
Rowan Vaughn spent four years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. Four years of violence, isolation, and a mysterious protection that kept him alive when others wanted him dead. He never knew who was watching over him, or why.
Until the day he walked free and met the man who owned his debt.
Asher Vale runs an empire built on blood and shadows. He's patient. Methodical. Ruthless. And he's been obsessed with Rowan since a single glimpse five years ago, a soldier laughing outside a bar, the only genuine joy Asher had ever witnessed.
When Rowan was framed and convicted, Asher saw his opportunity. He kept Rowan alive. Arranged his early release. And now he's calling in every marker.
Rowan knows he should hate the man who manipulated his way into ownership of his life. Should resist the magnetic pull of those dark eyes that watch him like he's the only thing that matters. Should fight the heat that ignites every time Asher gets too close.
But Rowan has spent four years learning to survive. He knows a predator when he sees one.
He just never expected to want to be caught.
As old enemies close in and secrets surface, Rowan must decide: Is Asher his captor or his salvation? And when the debt is finally paid, will he choose freedom, or the man who would burn the world to keep him?
