Perfect for fans of ruthless CEO's, morally gray antiheroes, and high-stakes passion. Monsters don't hide in shadows. They rule from thrones. Adela Sinclair built her empire with fire and code, protecting the most powerful criminals in NYC. She's untouchable-until the worst one imaginable stalks her. Rafe Vaughan is a king without a crown-a monster draped in luxury and violence. He doesn't ask. He takes. And he's set his sights on her to shield his own empire from a brewing war. Drawn by power, bound by lust, she agrees. But when his greatest rival turns his blade toward her, their fragile alliance twists into something far more dangerous. In his thirst for control, will she become the first woman he's ever loved? Or a liability he cannot afford? Monsters wear crowns. And in the end, only one will rule.
