A Crimson Series Novel I learned early how to survive—when to disappear, when to fight, when to bleed quietly. I never expected him to see me. Silas was danger wrapped in control, a man who ruled his world with blood and loyalty. I should have run the moment his attention lingered. —————— She was never meant to be mine.
