Aria Lanes’ college break ends in a nightmare when she’s abducted by a man paid to kill her. He doesn’t. Lorenzo is lethal, controlled, and feared—a man who follows rules without hesitation. Until Aria becomes the one exception he can’t explain. Instead of ending her life, he keeps her hidden. Instead of harming her, he protects her from enemies far more dangerous than him. She should be terrified. She should hate him. But captivity blurs into temptation, and fear turns into something far more dangerous—desire. Lorenzo has one rule: if Aria wants his protection, she must accept his control. And as the walls close in and the truth behind her abduction is revealed, Aria must decide whether the monster who stole her freedom is also the only man who can keep her alive. A dark, obsessive romance where protection becomes possession, captivity breeds desire, and falling for the monster might be the deadliest risk of all.
