Rowan Hayes was just another woman lost in the city—tired, broke, and invisible—until the day she threw herself in front of a van and saved a little girl’s life.
Now that girl, Emma Vance, refuses to let her go.
Her father, Asher Vance, refuses to let her stay.
With sharp suits, inked skin, and a voice that sounds like danger, Asher is the kind of man who gets what he wants—and never forgives what he doesn’t. He built his fortune on control and his reputation on fear. But Rowan Hayes makes him lose both.
As their worlds collide, the lies holding his empire together begin to crack. Emma’s mother isn’t dead. The truth is uglier—and far more dangerous—than anyone knows.
Caught between the child who trusts her and the man who tempts her, Rowan must decide whether love is worth the ruin that follows.
He’s power and poison. She’s the spark that might burn it all down.
