My villain. My monster. My Ruthless Knight…

Knight Grayson is more than one of New York’s untouchable billionaires—he’s a cold, calculating force wrapped in a tailored suit, a man whose power consumes everything in its path. One seductive encounter is all it takes for him to ensnare me in his dangerous world.

I never expected to become the pawn in his empire-building game.
I never expected him to steal me away from my almost-fiancé.
And I never expected him to demand marriage as the price for saving my father.

To claim his legacy, Knight needs my inheritance—and he uses my father’s crushing debts to force me into a six-month marriage contract. If I agree, the debts disappear. If I don’t… I lose everything.

So I sign.
My freedom.
My safety.
My life—bound to his ruthless terms.

But as we play the roles of billionaire husband and dutiful wife, the lines blur dangerously. Every public kiss feels too real. Every staged touch sends heat spiraling through me. And the man who vowed I wasn’t his Persephone begins to crave me like a forbidden obsession.

Yet beneath his seduction lies darkness—twisted secrets, lies that cut deep, and a past capable of destroying us both. Because falling for my monster was never the plan…
and surviving him might cost more than my heart.
