Alice
I swore Iād never trust againānot after my husband shattered every vow we made. I was done with love, with lies, with men who make promises and break them just as easily. Then he walked in. Mikhail Novikov. A man carved from shadows and secrets, with eyes that strip me bare and a touch that burns hotter than any vow. Heās not safe. Heās not good. But when Iām in his arms, I donāt care. Because in his darkness, I feel seenāand dangerously alive. If I fall for him, I might lose everything. But if I donāt⦠I might never feel again.

Ā Sheās fire disguised as fragilityādefiant, fierce, and stunningly broken. I shouldāve walked away the night she stumbled into my world, but something in her dared me to stay. Now I canāt look at another woman without comparing her to the one who wonāt have me. She thinks Iām chaosāsheās right. But Iād raze cities to keep her safe.
She doesnāt belong in my world of shadows and silence. Still, Iām not letting her go. Even if loving me destroys her.
