A Veil of Execration

When Savannah Hale is promised to a man she doesn't love, she expects her cage to slam shut forever. Her life was always a transaction-her smile sold, her body promised, her future sealed in contracts... until Leon.

He doesn't ask. He doesn't wait. He tears the world apart to mark her as his.

Older, colder, blood-stained, and unrepentant-he is every warning she was raised to fear.

And yet, he is the first man who really saw her-the only man she'll bleed for.

Because when ruin feels like devotion, how can it be anything but love?
