He is a monster draped in shadows, a devil dressed in tailored suits, and the last man I should ever want. But from the moment he set his cold, unrelenting eyes on me, I knew my life would never be mine again.

I've spent years running from the ghosts of my past, burying secrets that could shatter me. But Zakhar? He's a predator who doesn't just see my scars-he revels in them, peeling back my defenses with every possessive touch, every venom-laced word.

He says I'm his.

That my fear amuses him, my vulnerability ignites him, and my resistance is futile.

His world is chaos, and I'm drowning in it-caught between his possessive need to protect me and the brutal violence that surrounds him.

He promises to keep me safe. But how can I trust the man who's as dangerous as the enemies that hunt me?

How can I run from a devil when I crave his darkness?
