Josh Hutson is a tyrant dressed in tailored suits—New York’s youngest, most feared nightclub mogul. At twenty-two, he rules his empire with cold precision, sharp intelligence, and a heart locked behind steel walls. He has everything: money, power, loyalty… and the darkness that keeps everyone at arm’s length. He doesn’t do softness. He doesn’t do attachment. And he certainly doesn’t rescue anyone. Until the night he finds a nineteen-year-old girl unconscious on the marble floor of his mansion. She has no home. No safety. No one left to trust. But she has fire—and a past that threatens to burn everything down. Josh should throw her out. Instead, he keeps her. Protects her. Watches her unravel every rule he’s ever lived by. Because she’s the first person who looks at him and sees more than the tyrant. More than the danger. More than the monster he’s convinced he is. But obsession is a dangerous thing… And when the shadows of her past return, Josh will show just how far a tyrant will go to protect what’s his. A gripping dark romance about power, redemption, and the terrifying beauty of being truly seen. Perfect for fans of damaged heroes, intense chemistry, and morally gray men who would burn the world for one girl.
