IT STARTED WITH A SIMPLE OFFER...AND ENDED WITH ME ON MY KNEES.

I’ve never met him. Never even seen him.
But I’ve heard the whispers. The rumors.

They say his presence wraps around your throat whenever he enters a room.
That’s exactly what I feel the moment he walks into the diner where I work, and I hear people breathe out his name.

The crown prince of the Dark Sovereign—a society of men who own everything but the weather in this town.

He’s the kind of man you pray never to cross paths with. The kind of man a girl like me has no chance of surviving.

I can disappear and no one will know.
