Summary

Ash has built his life on pain, loyalty, and survival. As the enforcer for "The Reapers," a ruthless gang, he’s the one they call when things need to be cleaned up—quietly, efficiently, and without question. But his latest mission shatters the careful distance he’s maintained between himself and his emotions. His target is Aria, a woman from his past whose cruel manipulations once made his life a living hell. Kidnapping her should be simple, but nothing about Aria is ever simple. Forced into close quarters at a remote safehouse, Ash begins to see cracks in the icy façade she once wore so confidently. Her fear is real, her vulnerability unexpected—and it stirs something in him he’s spent years trying to bury. As the walls around his heart crumble, Ash struggles to reconcile his hatred for Aria with the growing, undeniable pull between them. But when The Reapers push their cruelty to unbearable limits, Ash faces a devastating choice: protect the woman who once destroyed him or risk his own life to rescue her. In the violent, chaotic world of The Reapers, love is a dangerous weakness, and redemption comes at a price. Ash and Aria must confront their demons—and each other—as they spiral into a dark, forbidden romance that could be their salvation…or their undoing.

Authors note

Ash never expected to see Aria again—the girl who once turned his teenage years into a living hell. Now, she’s a target, a loose end in a world of shadows and blood. Tasked by his ruthless boss to silence her, Ash prepares to do what he’s always done: handle the mess and walk away.

But when their paths collide, the past ignites with a dangerous intensity neither of them can ignore. Aria isn’t the girl he remembers—she’s fierce, vulnerable, and harboring secrets that could unravel everything.

Caught between loyalty to his gang and the growing pull of a love he swore he’d never feel again, Ash must decide: will he protect her or destroy her? As their lives intertwine in a web of betrayal and desire, the stakes are higher than ever, and their hearts may not survive the fallout.

Sometimes, love doesn’t save you—it consumes you.
