I Should Fear Him… So Why Do I Crave Him?
He was supposed to destroy my father.
Using me was just part of the plan.
I’m the judge’s perfect daughter—polished, untouched, political currency.
Ash Cross is the skull-masked enforcer who rules Eidolon from the shadows.
Cold. Brutal. Obsessive.
When I walk into the wrong corridor, he doesn’t silence me.
He keeps me.
He calls it leverage.
Locks me in his penthouse.
Watches me like I’m already his.
But the longer I’m trapped in his world, the more I crave the darkness he promises.
Then I learn the truth.
I’m not just part of his revenge.
I’m the bait.
And when the rival families decide killing me is easier than negotiating, Ash has a choice:
Finish his war.
Or save the woman he was never supposed to want.
