🔥 A dark mafia romance with primal heat, academic stakes, and one ruthless monster who only bends for her.

He’s the beast they keep in chains.
She’s the beauty he wants to ruin.

Scarred, brutal, and locked beneath the House of the Syndicate Academy, Matteo Pietra has spent twenty-six years as a caged beast. Magic dies in his presence. So do people.

Now his power is growing. And if he can’t be controlled, he’ll be executed.

Selene Harper is supposed to be his salvation. A beautiful trauma mage with darkness in her eyes. She is meant to solve him. Heal him.

But she doesn’t run when he growls. Doesn’t flinch when he stalks.

And when he finally hunts her down in the dark, she begs him not to stop.

◆◆◆

Perfect for fans of brutal antiheroes, morally gray heroines, and steamy Beauty & the Beast retellings that bite. Expect stalking, chasing, claiming, and a primal 5-pepper heat that scorches the page.
