🔥 VEIL OF ASHES🔥
I was never meant to be seen.
Never meant to be found.
But the devil doesn't knock. He kicks the door in—and sets fire to everything.
Las Vegas is a city of ghosts.
I’ve become one of them—hiding in the shadows, forging new lives for people who need to disappear.
Including myself.
Until Kieran Santoro walks in—lethal, cold, and carved from blood and power.
An enforcer for the Veyra Collective.
A man who kills without hesitation... and touches like a sin you never recover from.
He doesn’t want me.
He needs me—to forge a fake ledger that could topple a criminal empire.
But the job comes with chains, and Kieran wears control like a second skin.
I should hate him.
I do.
Until he becomes the only thing keeping me alive.
His ex wants me dead.
My uncle wants to sell me to the cartel.
And the man I buried years ago—the father I thought I’d lost—is back, asking me to betray the one man who might actually burn the world to protect me.
There’s no way out.
Only deeper in.
Because this isn’t love.
This is obsession dressed in a tailored suit and a loaded gun.
And if I fall for him…
I’ll lose the only part of myself I haven’t already sold to survive.
But maybe I was never meant to survive at all.
Maybe I was born to burn beside him.
I was never meant to be seen.
