Mia Hartley's household taught her she existed only to be used. She spent her youth as currency for her father’s debts. At twenty, she escaped and accepted Lucas Black’s proposal, believing marriage might finally offer the intimacy she craved, but she was wrong: Lucas is gay. He just wants a suitable wife, nothing more.
Everything changes at the Black family masked ball. A stranger in a dark mask claims her mouth in public, then claims her body in private with ruthless intensity and leaves her addicted to a single name… Dion.
When the truth about Lucas surfaces, Mia returns to her father's house. A fresh violation drives her into a storm, then she collapses… Dion finds her again.
Dion Black has waited and watched Mia for four years. He is possessive, relentless, and feared by his own family. As he pulls Mia deeper into his world, she discovers he is Lucas’s cousin. Trust fractures, but desire does not.
While Dion begins destroying everyone who ever harmed Mia, she must decide whether she can accept a love that feels more like ownership, and whether the man who refuses to let her go might also be the first person who truly sees her.
