The first time in a long while Adira decides to enjoy herself, it ends in utter chaos—a nightclub drenched in mayhem and blood, and her perched awkwardly on the lap of a dangerously handsome stranger who radiates trouble. Their rude encounter sets the stage for something far more sinister. Now, thrust into a twisted partnership with the enigmatic Andronikos Karas, she must navigate a web of crime, power plays, and the unbearable tension that crackles between them. Will Adira surrender to the magnetic pull of her heart, or will she hold firm and reject the temptation threatening to consume her? It wasn’t supposed to go this way. Andronikos had a plan: steal the girl, use her to destroy her father, take Abara Inc., and finally settle the score for the pain her family inflicted on his years ago. Revenge, cold and calculated, was all he ever wanted. Holding her was meant to be nothing more than a step in his elaborate game. But as days turned to weeks, and his connection to Adira deepened, the fire inside him began to smolder. It was subtle at first, a flicker of something he couldn’t name. Over time, it grew—a primal yearning that both thrilled and terrified him. Andronikos has always been relentless in pursuing what he wants, and now, more than revenge, it’s Adira he craves. But vengeance and desire make for a dangerous combination, and as the lines blur, one thing becomes clear: he’ll stop at nothing to claim both his justice and the woman who’s become the center of his world. Adira’s life has always looked picture-perfect—on the surface, at least. The sprawling mansion in Tampa? Check. All-expenses-paid trips to Bali and every other Instagram-worthy destination? Check. A full-ride scholarship to Harvard Business School? Check. And let’s not forget the luxury condo on the Upper East Side: double check. Whatever privilege or extravagance you can imagine, Adira’s had it handed to her on a silver platter. After all, being the sole heiress to a multi-billion-dollar company does come with its perks. But has she really had it easy? Since she was old enough to understand words like "legacy" and "reputation," Adira has been drilled with the mantra, "Appearance is everything." Perfect grades, perfect manners, perfect poise—Adira didn’t just strive for excellence; it was demanded of her. By tenth grade, she was head of the student council. By her early twenties, she was already running Abara Inc. in her father’s partial absence. She was Miss Perfect, the unshakable symbol of success. But perfection is a heavy crown, and cracks are hard to hide when the weight gets unbearable. Enter Andronikos Karas, aka “Thanatos,” a name whispered in fear and awe throughout the underworld. Their meeting? Let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a meet-cute. When Adira’s perfectly curated world collides with Andronikos’s chaotic one—a storm of blood, vengeance, and devastating charm—things take a turn for the unpredictable. Will Miss Perfect and the King of Shadows destroy each other? Or will they bring the world to its knees in the name of a love neither of them anticipated? lg...
