To Aurora, he was just her quiet, cold junior brother-in-law—a guy who ignored her while her husband treated her like a ghost.

She never knew the truth: Adrian was suffocating under a dark, possessive secret. He wasn't ignoring her out of coldness. He was trying to keep himself from taking her.

When her marriage falls apart, Adrian shatters his silence. He buys her father’s debt, destroys his own brother, and pulls her into his world, determined to make her his. Terrified by his fierce obsession, Aurora vanishes into the night.

Five years later, she is forced to return to his city—and she isn't alone. Walking beside her are twin boys with pitch-black eyes and sharp jaws, the spitting image of the man who tore the world apart to find her.

Now that he knows the truth, Adrian is never letting his family slip away again.
