Y/N was never supposed to become part of her father’s war. For years, the Moreau and Laurent families have been locked in a ruthless battle for power. Y/N has spent her life safely removed from it, never knowing exactly what her father was involved in or why one name was spoken with particular hatred: Dante Moreau. Cold, calculating, and feared throughout the city, Dante inherited an empire built on blood and betrayal. When Y/N’s father suddenly disappears, Dante takes her instead, convinced she knows something about what was stolen from his family. She doesn’t. But Dante doesn’t believe her. Now Y/N is trapped inside his heavily guarded estate, surrounded by people who answer to him and a man who has every reason to hate her. She refuses to make things easy for him, challenging him at every opportunity despite knowing exactly what he’s capable of. At first, she’s nothing more than leverage. Then Dante starts noticing things he shouldn’t. The way she refuses to fear him. The way she challenges his authority. The way his attention keeps finding her even when there’s no reason for it. Dante Moreau has spent his entire life making sure nothing can become a weakness. He never expected Y/N to be the exception.
