📚 Book 2 of a completed 2-book series
When Malachi finally gets what he's been desperately wanting—his foster sister Olivia choosing him—his world implodes just as quickly. Powerful enemies emerge with their own plans for her, leaving him wounded, furious, and absolutely determined to reclaim what was taken. Forced into dangerous alliances he never wanted, Malachi becomes a man unleashed, willing to tear through anyone and anything standing between him and getting Olivia back. This is a dark, intense romance for readers who crave obsessive love and high-stakes danger—just be aware this story contains extremely heavy content that's not for the faint of heart.
Reading soundtrack
Sultry dark R&B and industrial pop for obsessive desire, dangerous edges, and scorching tension. Artists like The Weeknd, Halsey, FKA twigs, and Banks. Moody, possessive, unapologetically sensual—where love turns fierce and control becomes intoxicating.
