I was raised to be invisible.
Kept hidden, protected, untouched.
A pretty thing locked away from the world of men—and from the truth.
Then the King of Ireland’s criminal underworld claimed me.
He rules with blood and fear, a man whispered about in back rooms and prayed against in churches. He doesn’t ask. He takes. When his empire is threatened, mercy is a weakness he can’t afford—until I become one.
Now I belong to the most dangerous man alive.
His captive.
His obsession.
His wife.
There are no escape routes from a man like him. No bargains. No safe words. In his world, loyalty is bought with violence, love is indistinguishable from possession, and once you’re his, there is no going back.
I was innocent once.
Now I’m his—and the underworld will burn before he lets me go.
