❖ I escaped every monster they threw at me. Then I met the one I couldn’t leave. ❖
I was born in blood and betrayal—trained to be a bride, raised to be a weapon, destined to be a warning.
But I chose freedom over obedience.
I vanished. Changed my name.
Built a life out of lies and quiet.
Until he found me.
Rocco Calderón.
The Silvestri Syndicate’s enforcer.
Cold.
Controlled.
Ruthless in a way that feels almost holy.
He doesn’t ask questions.
He just watches—like he already knows every sin I’ve ever tried to bury.
I thought I could outrun my past.
Outwit the empire that created me.
But he doesn’t want my surrender.
He wants my secrets.
My scars.
My soul.
I should disappear again.
I should run.
But when his hands are on me, I forget how.
Because some cages don’t need bars.
And some savages don’t need chains.
They just need someone who’s wild enough to love them.
