Delaney Cross knows Samson Vexley is dangerous the moment she sees him.
As the eldest of the three Vexley sons, Samson is a beast in a tailored suit and was raised to protect his family’s secrets with money, muscle, and blood.
Delaney should run.
But she isn’t at the Vexleys’ exclusive club by accident. She’s hunting for the truth about a man who died fifteen years ago…and the powerful family that may have buried more than his body.
Samson knows he should destroy her before she gets too close.
Instead, he can't stay away from her.
Their attraction is brutal, forbidden, and dangerously blurred, and it drags Delaney into a world where desire feels like captivity and every secret has teeth.
Samson was born to be his family’s weapon. Delaney was never supposed to become his weakness.
But some beasts don’t need saving. They need one desire that cuts deeper than loyalty.
