Burn for Me

Her wedding day was supposed to be a beginning—instead, it becomes a baptism of fire and blood.

When Laura survives a brutal mafia hit that should have left no witnesses, she doesn't wake up safe. She wakes up captive, locked aboard a ship in the middle of nowhere, at the mercy of the man who saved her life. Phoenix is the organization's most feared weapon—a scarred, mute fire-starter with a body count most soldiers couldn't fathom and a code as ironclad as his silence. He has never once broken his rules. Until her.

Now Laura faces a reality more terrifying than death: she has to survive the darkness surrounding her by trusting the very man who chains her to it. Phoenix doesn't explain himself. He doesn't make promises. He only watches her with an intensity that feels less like obsession and more like inevitability.

*Burn for Me* is a scorching dark paranormal romance that refuses to flinch. Effie Campbell builds slow-burning dread alongside even slower-burning desire, threading genuine horror throughout a story where the monster in the room might also be your only salvation. The tension between captor and captive crackles with forbidden hunger, moral complexity, and a heat that feels dangerous from the very first page.

If you crave romance that lives in the shadows—where desire is complicated, consent is complicated, and the pull between two people is absolutely undeniable—this is the book you've been waiting for.
