I was born a secret.
I grew up behind a locked door.
My world has always been four guarded walls, a barred window, and rules I never agreed to.
What I eat, what I wear, what I read—every choice made for me.
I’m my father’s hidden daughter, not a person, just leverage he’s been saving for the right deal.
The only thing that’s ever felt like mine is the one man I’m not allowed to watch.
The new Boss.
Cold eyes. Bloody hands.
A king carved out of monsters.
On stolen security feeds, I watch him turn rooms silent.
I watch men twice his size lower their gaze.
He looks like war in a suit—and I’m stupid enough to imagine he could be my freedom.
When my father finally unlocks my door, I think it’s to set me free.
It isn’t.
I’m not being rescued.
I’m being traded.
A marriage contract.
A shared bed.
My body as the price of peace.
To the Boss, I’m two things:
the bride that cements his power… and the weakness he refuses to admit he feels.
Our wedding night doesn’t go the way I was raised to fear.
No audience. No proof.
He kills the old tradition in one brutal order
and promises my body will never again be used as evidence for anyone.
For a moment, I think that makes him my savior.
But saviors don’t lock the door behind you.
Saviors don’t put a gun in your hand and growl,
‘From now on, you bleed only for me.’
War is brewing in the shadows.
Someone wants his crown and they’re coming through me.
Threats, bodies, betrayal—I become the easiest way to break him.
To keep me, he’ll burn alliances and paint the floor in blood.
To own me, he’ll cage me in gold and barbed wire.
To love me—if that’s what this is—he’ll drag me so deep into his darkness
I’ll forget where the cage ends and he begins.
I begged to escape my prison.
Instead, I married the man who builds cages out of bones…
and the worst part is how safe I feel in his hands.
He was never meant to believe in anything.
Now he’ll burn the world to keep his Faith.
Burning Faith is a steamy dark mafia romance in dual POV, featuring a hidden ‘tower’ heroine tasting freedom for the first time, a ruthless Boss obsessed with the wife he never wanted to need, an arranged marriage, shattered traditions, and a love story made of bullets, bargains, and brutal devotion.
