His Cruelest Touch

He bought her to control the silence. She became the flaw that could destroy him.

Adrian Night does not believe in hope. He believes in systems, leverage, and ownership.

When a forty-million-dollar debt comes due, he collects the only asset left. Sia Jones. World-class cellist. Beautiful liability. Now trapped seventy stories above Manhattan in a fortress of glass, steel, and surveillance, her freedom traded for safety and a diamond collar that marks her as his.

To Adrian, she is an acquisition. A solution. A voice purchased to fill the hollow quiet of his empire.

To Sia, he is the monster who cages her body while worshiping her music. The architect who controls every door, every breath, every choice. Yet in the shadows of his penthouse, something dangerous begins to form. A harmony born of captivity, obsession, and desire neither of them can silence.

As a ruthless rival closes in and blood stains marble floors, the lines between captor and protector blur. Adrian will burn the city to keep what is his. Sia must decide whether to escape the cage he built or claim the throne beside him.

In a world of power, possession, and ruin, love is the most dangerous flaw of all.
