❖ He was my shadow. My secret sin. My inevitable ruin. ❖
Dario Marchello was never meant to be mine.
A ghost in the underworld.
A man carved from violence and regret.
A monster with a touch that burned and a past that bled.
I ran from my old life.
From the chains that nearly destroyed me.
But New York is his city, and there’s nowhere to hide from a man like Dario.
He doesn’t ask.
He takes.
Dragging me into his world, into his arms—into a war I never wanted to fight.
He says he’s my salvation.
My shield against the past.
But I know better.
Because monsters don’t save girls like me.
They consume them.
And the most dangerous thing?
I’m not sure I want to be saved.
