Silken Snare

Alexa never should have come back.



She thought she was just returning home, facing ghosts of the past she left behind. But Zaiyo was never just a ghost—he was a force. Calculated, patient, untouchable.



The moment she steps back into town, she falls into his web, though she doesn’t realize it yet. His words twist around her, his presence lingers in places he shouldn’t be, and the people she trusts? They’re not as trustworthy as she thought. Even her best friend is slipping away, drawn into his world.



Then there’s Ethan—her ex, the boy who once broke her heart. But if she thought she was caught between two men, she was wrong. There is only Zaiyo. And there always has been.Lies unravel. Desires clash. And as Alexa fights to break free, she begins to wonder—was she ever in control? Or was she just another piece on his board?



Because Zaiyo always gets what he wants. And what he wants… is her.



But not in the way she expects.
