Summary

They say the devil comes to you in your darkest hour. Mine came in a bar, wearing a suit that cost more than my rent and a smile that made me forget my own name. One night. That's all it was supposed to be. A reckless, drunken escape from Damian's gilded cage. I let myself be swept away by a man who looked at me like I was the only woman in the world. Costanzo Ross. The man who wrecked me in every way a woman can be wrecked. But the universe has a sick sense of humour. Because when the dizzying high of our night fades, I'm thrust back into my reality—and the cold truth hits me like a slap. The man I gave myself to so freely? He's my fiancé's father. I stepped into a world built on secrets, power, and people who don't forgive mistakes. And Damian already owns enough of me to make leaving feel impossible. How am I supposed to navigate this viper's nest of danger and buried truths when the most dangerous man in the room is the only one who makes me feel alive? How do you escape a family like this when the father has already decided you're his?
