OLIVIA
I thought monsters lived in legends and museum artifacts.
I was wrong.
I saw something I wasn't meant to see.
Blood on marble. Power behind silk suits.
And the mark of the Drago clan burned into my memory.
Kael Drago doesn't save witnesses.
He cages them.
Now I belong to a man who rules Veridia with violence and control, a man who looks at me like I'm both a threat and a prize.
He says I'm under his protection.
He says I'm safe.
But every lock on my door reminds me of the truth.
I'm not a guest.
I'm leverage.
And the worst part?
My body doesn't remember that he's my enemy.
KAEL
I didn't plan to keep her.
I planned to silence her.
Olivia Vane was supposed to be a problem I eliminated quietly.
Instead, she became an obsession I couldn't bury.
She's too sharp. Too defiant. Too damn tempting.
She looks at my empire and sees the cracks.
She looks at me like she's not afraid.
That's dangerous.
I own this city. I own every shadow in it.
And now I own her.
She can hate me.
She can fight me.
But she will learn one thing the hard way-
Nothing leaves my world once it's mine.
This is the first book in the Silent Witness series. Reading Order:
