At 26, Kiara Marshall is no stranger to sacrifice. After the tragic loss of her sister Rachel and brother-in-law Maximus Ashton, she steps into the role of CEO at Marshton Publishing and guardian of her 8-year-old niece, Mia. Balancing the demands of a prestigious company with the responsibility of raising Mia, Kiara has always prioritized her niece's safety, honoring the deathbed promise she made to her sister. To Kiara, love is a distraction, a vulnerability she can't afford. Her devotion to Mia leaves no room for romance, especially when no man seems to understand the depth of her commitment.
Enter Jaxon Klein, a 30-year-old world-famous musician with a dangerous edge. As the second son of a powerful Mafia family, Jaxon enjoys the duality of a rockstar's fame while being tied to his family's underworld dealings. With millions of adoring fans, a string of publicized relationships, and scandalous headlines, Jaxon seems to be the quintessential bad boy. But beneath the surface, he craves something real, something more than the fleeting attention that comes with stardom.
As their lives intertwine, they must confront the secrets they hide and the scars they bear. Can Jaxon convince Kiara that love doesn't mean sacrificing her responsibilities? And can Kiara open herself to love, knowing it could risk everything she's built for Mia?
In a world where fame and family collide, will they find a love worth fighting for, or will their pasts consume them both?

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐊𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓. Book 2 in "Dark Fate" series. "Obsession is like a wildfire, consuming everything in its path even friendships and boundaries." • ✧ • Vivaan Grover is my boyfriend. He still is. But sometimes love doesn't feel like love anymore. It used to be simple - him and me against the world. Until the world turned into shadows and silence. Until the messages began, the gifts I never asked for, the voice that never spoke but somehow followed me everywhere. My stalker didn't just watch me... he haunted me. And when that wasn't enough, he made me choose - him or Vivaan. He never laid a finger on me. He didn't need to. Fear does its job when it's patient. I broke the heart I swore I'd never touch. And the moment I did, the stalker disappeared... like he was never there at all. And somehow, Vivaan and I found our way back to each other. But everything had changed. He held me, but his arms no longer felt like home. Не kissed me, but there was distance in every touch, a silence between our bodies that no words could fill. He was with me... but he wasn't with me. And just when I thought I'd finally breathe again, Kian Albrecht walked into my life. My brother's best friend. His presence is like smoke and fire, impossible to ignore, dangerous to inhale. He doesn't ask. He claims. He doesn't knock. He breaks through. And when his eyes fall on me, I feel it deep in my bones - I'm not safe, not from him... not from what he awakens in me. Now, I'm unraveling. My stalker is watching again. Vivaan is slipping away. And Kian-he's not a savior. He's a storm dressed in obsession, and somehow, I'm standing in the center of it, unable to move, unable to run. This isn't a love story. This is a warning. And I think I'm already too late to save myself.
On His Terms
"You can have me, Kian," I whispered, elation that my plan was coming into play, making my voice low. "Are you sure? Because you don't know, Jade. You," a deep groan escaped him, the rumble of his words vibrating against the arch of my throat, "don't know how much it's taking me not to bend you over and slam myself inside you." ***|***|*** Coldhearted and ruthless, Kian Fields is done with his toxic marriage. Bitter, he focuses on his multi-billionaire company, loathing all women that roam the face of the Earth. Until he meets feisty Jadesola, who goes out of her way to mock him. Stunning and hot-headed, Jadesola is on the verge of poverty---her no-good ex-fiance has made off with half of her casino's earnings--- and the only choice she has is to request financial aid from none other than her nemesis, Kian. Except that Kian has a thrilling game plan up his infuriatingly gorgeous sleeve. He's out for revenge and will only agree, if and only if she becomes his personal assistant a.k.a office slave. But Jade is a woman with a fierce backbone and it would be a cold day in hell before she dances to his wicked tunes. With sinister family secrets and chilling mysteries blowing their entangled way, it's a wonder who would tame the other and come out victorious. The game is on. EXPLICIT CONTENT.
