He does power plays, politics, and perfectly controlled chaos. Until her. The orphan girl with quiet rage in her eyes and a mouth he can't stop imagining wrapped around his worst intentions. She doesn't belong in his world of privilege and poison. But she fits too perfectly in his lap. Everyone warns her to stay away from him. He's obsessive. Dangerous. Unfeeling. They're not wrong. He wants her-bare, breathless, broken open and rebuilt in his image. And once he's had a taste, he's not letting go. Not when she quiets the storm in his head. Not when she's the only thing keeping the darkness at bay. She thinks this is just lust. A fling. A mistake. But Dev? He is ready to ruin his reputation, rewrite his rules, and wreck her perfectly... just to make her his.
