It's simple. A vengeful wildfire of a woman. A tyrant who begs to be burned.  

When Aria crashes into Kael’s empire, hellbent on making him pay for taking her job away, she’s met not with defiance—but a dare. “You want revenge?” he taunts, voice dripping with dark invitation. 

“Then ruin me. Take your pound of flesh exactly where it hurts.” His proposition is a trap laced with sin: As expected he calls the shots in his bed, her contempt is his twisted aphrodisiac. 

“Hate me until your hands shake,” he growls. “But do it on top of me, where I can watch you savor every cut.”  

Their arrangement is a collision of dominance and delirium. Aria wields her fury like a blade, determined to break him. Kael? He thrives under her wrath, goading her darker, deeper, hungrier. 

But vengeance turns slippery when every insult she hisses ignites his obsession, and every cold glare melts into bruising kisses. Soon, the bed becomes a battleground—her nails carving victory into his skin, his whispers a serpent’s promise: “Chain me with your rage, darling. I’ll still come back for more."  

The rules are simple: No mercy. No surrender. But as their games spiral into something ravenous, who’s destroying whom? And when hatred burns this hot, what’s left when the ashes cool?

Los Angeles welcomed me with its usual blend of arrogance and excess. The city reeked of desperation—men clawing at power, parading their wealth like peacocks, mistaking noise for influence.

I stepped off the jet, barely sparing a glance at the crew. Niko was already waiting at the bottom of the stairs, standing at attention like a soldier awaiting orders. He was nothing if not disciplined.

"The villa?" he asked, though we both knew the answer.

I adjusted my cuffs, my pace unhurried. "You already know I have no interest in that circus."

Niko gave a single nod, falling in step beside me. "The car is ready. Blackwell is expecting you at The Sinclair."

Nathaniel Blackwell. A man who thought himself bold enough to sit at my table.
