I thought I’d escaped him. Three years ago, Jackson McKnight painted my world in blood—and I swore I’d never look back.
But monsters don’t stay buried forever… When the black SUV skids to a stop outside the restaurant where I work, I already know it’s him. My captor. My first love. My worst sin.
Jackson isn’t the reckless boy I remember. He’s colder now—beautiful, brutal, untouchable—the heir to the Burning Crown, a secret society built on power and violence.
And he says he’s taken me for my own good. He locks me inside Rush House, the mansion where all his demons live, and tells me I’m safe here. But the way he looks at me feels nothing like safety.
Every word is a threat. Every touch, a promise. He wants to own me again—to twist the girl who left him into the woman who can’t leave at all. I should hate him. And I do.
But when the past comes clawing back, I start to wonder—Is Jackson my nightmare…or is he the only one who can save me?
