BLURB:
I was hidden. I was safe.
My life was a grey, endless monotonous loop of my own creation.
For four years in Fort George, I lived in the shadows, as quiet as fog curling through pines, as invisible as ghosts in a dark forest.
Then, I made one mistake.
One.
I dared to cross a dangerous Fort man, a psychopath devoid of conscience, with the means to obliterate my life in exquisite detail.
Kane Berkeley is a cold strategist whose quiet lethal force is more dangerous than violence. A scion of a criminal dynasty, consumed with the need to weaponize every secret, desire, and weakness I have to claim me.
Now, I'm a pawn on his chessboard.
His to move. His to break.
But you can’t break what’s already broken.
He thinks he’s won, but I have one last card to play.
Will I be able to escape his darkness or will the grim reaper drag me into the shadows with him?
