"In a world where power is everything, she is the one thing he can't control... yet."

Mara Jennings never expected her quiet life as a freelance editor to be turned upside down by a dangerous obsession. But when she steps into Blackwood Rare Books, a shadowy sanctuary where secrets linger between the pages, she catches the eye of Ethan Blackwood—a man whose intensity burns just as dark as the night.

Ethan has studied her from afar, mesmerized by her vulnerability and the raw creativity she tries to hide. He knows she's in danger. He also knows she's a puzzle he can't let go of. When the Sovereign Circle—an underground force with its claws deep in the city—sets its sights on Mara, Ethan's obsession evolves into something far darker, more possessive, and far more dangerous.

As the threat to her life grows, so does their attraction—volatile, complicated, and full of secrets. But in Ethan's world of control, will Mara ever truly be free?

Her escape lies in her writing. But every word she pens may be one step closer to a fate she never expected—and a love she can't escape.
