She’s everything he’s tried to forget. But hate has a fine, fucking line, princess. And once they cross it, there’s no going back. Small towns remember everything. Secrets are currency. And love? Love is the most dangerous game of all.

He didn’t kiss me. He stripped me. Held my gaze. Watched me tremble while his shadow swallowed the light. He pinned me to the wall, breath at my throat. “You belong to me now. When you beg, I’ll ruin you. Slowly.” I was sold at midnight to the highest bidder. A billionaire with a voice like smoke and eyes carved from stone. He took me to his penthouse. Locked the doors. Laid down rules. No speaking. No escaping. No touching unless I begged. Now I eat from his hand. And break his rules just to see him burn. And he watches. Always. Eyes dark. Voice low. Control absolute. He swears he doesn’t want me.But the way he looks at me? Like I’m the secret he’s been hunting his whole life. Like he’s one breath away from shattering and dragging me down with him. He isn’t my savior. He’s the devil I can’t stop dreaming about. And I just whispered a name he vowed never to hear again. But the devil has secrets. And so do I.
