She knows he’s dangerous. She knows she should run. But when the devil wants you… he doesn’t let go. Aesira seeks nothing more than stability—a steady income, a quiet environment, and distance from the chaos of her past. But her new job brings her face-to-face with Damon Perez, a man whose influence dominates the underground world as powerfully as his presence fills a room. Reckless. Magnetic. Unapologetically carnal. Damon has built his reputation on volatility and desire—and no one dares defy him. Until Aesira. Her resistance ignites something in him—something obsessive, possessive, and far more dangerous than either of them are prepared for. Damon isn’t a man who courts affection; he claims what he wants. And Aesira, with her quiet strength and haunted eyes, becomes the one thing he refuses to lose. She fears repeating the past that broke her. He refuses to imagine a future without her. As passion and peril intertwine, Aesira must decide whether Damon is her greatest mistake—or the one man willing to destroy everything to keep her safe.
