ROSE
My father’s debt did not cost him his life.
It cost me mine.
Liam Morozov does not need chains. He has money, men, power, and a name that turns threats into funerals.
Now I belong in his penthouse, in his war, under his hand.
I hate him.
I hate the way he watches me like he already knows where I will break. I hate the way fear turns sharp when he comes close. I hate that his darkness does not only terrify me.
It tempts me.
I was taken as payment.
But the debt hiding between our families is soaked in secrets, and I may be the one sin Liam cannot control.
LIAM
Rose Collins was supposed to be collateral.
A pretty consequence for her father’s weakness.
Then she looked at me like I was not a man to fear, but a monster to survive.
And she is determined to survive.
She turns fear into fire.
She makes me want to sin slowly…
I should have broken that defiance.
Instead, I wanted it beneath my hands.
She is fire in my coldest room. A temptation with teeth. A mistake I keep making because sin has never looked so innocent and tempting.
But my enemies are watching.
And Rose carries a truth that could cut through my empire.
She is leverage. Obsession. Weakness.
Mine.
If this debt becomes war, I will not save my soul.
But no one else will touch what I have claimed.
