Damian Blade

On the orders of his mentor, Damian Luther leaves the countryside and becomes the live-in son-in-law to a beautiful CEO. Henceforth, he bestows salvation with one hand and eternal damnation with the other, beginning his unfettered life in the city.

She thought she was invisible in the shadows of Las Vegas. She was wrong. Dr. Ava Thorne has spent two years hiding in the city's darkest corners, treating criminals and outcasts in her underground clinic. No questions asked. No names recorded. No past to haunt her. Until the night she saves the wrong man's life. Damian Volkov bleeds out on her operating table—heir to the most feared crime family in Vegas, and the man who's been watching her every move for nine years. With one touch of her surgeon's hands, she seals her fate. He's been hunting her since she was eighteen. Now he's finally found his prey. Dragged from her world of shadows into his penthouse prison, Ava discovers the terrifying truth: her kidnapping wasn't random. He knows exactly who she really is. Evelyn Reed, daughter of a murdered senator. The ghost he's been obsessed with since the night he saw her standing in the rain, beautiful and broken. But Damian isn't the only one who wants to claim her. His uncle sees her as a weapon to wield. His aunt views her as a threat to eliminate. And somewhere in the darkness, the people who killed her father are closing in to finish what they started. Caught between a monster who calls her his salvation and enemies who want her dead, Ava faces an impossible choice. She can fight the man who owns her body and soul, or she can embrace the darkness he's awakening inside her. Because in Damian's world, love isn't gentle. Love is possession. Love is war. And she's about to discover she was born to be his queen.

RACHEL:I was supposed to be a bride. Instead, I became a tragedy in a white dress. When your mother dies the same night your groom disappears, you stop believing in happy endings. Then came him. A man with no warmth, no promises and eyes that watched me like I was a puzzle he didn’t want to solve. He saved me once. Now I live under his roof, cooking meals for a stranger whose silence speaks louder than comfort. Then there is Chris, the charming CEO who drowns me in the kind of affection I always dreamt of. And there is Liam, my ex fiance who came crawling back, begging for another chance. But the heart is a stupid thing. Even when it’s broken, it still learns to give second chances. Even for the wrong man. DAMIAN: She was a disaster I didn’t ask for. One I couldn’t ignore. I don’t do emotions, and I sure as hell don’t do strays. But I let her in, just for a while. Rachel Hart is not my responsibility. But she keeps showing up in places I can’t ignore, my company, my home, my thoughts. Now her presence lingers. Her scent. Her voice. Her past. She doesn’t belong in my world. But I find myself rearranging it anyway. And when someone else tries to claim her, They’ll learn the hard way I don’t let go of what’s mine.
