Enslaved Hearts

She'd rather burn the world down than admit she needs him.

When Seraphina Calder is forced into an arranged contract with her family's most ruthless rival, she arrives at Dorian Blackwell's estate with one plan: survive him. He is arrogant, infuriating, and disturbingly beautiful—a man who treats power like oxygen and expects her compliance like gravity. She gives him neither.

Dorian has negotiated hostile takeovers, dismantled empires, and never once lost his footing. But Seraphina Calder looks at him like he's the inconvenience she intends to outlast, and somehow that infuriates him more than anything in his carefully controlled life. She isn't playing by his rules. Worse, she's rewriting them.

What begins as a battle of wills becomes something far more dangerous—stolen glances across crowded rooms, arguments that end with neither of them breathing steadily, and a tension that coils tighter with every passing day. Neither will surrender first. Neither can afford to.

But when outside forces threaten to destroy everything they've built in opposition to each other, Seraphina and Dorian discover that their greatest weapon isn't cruelty or pride—it's each other.

*Enslaved Hearts* is a scorching, emotionally raw romance about two people who spend so long fighting for control that they never see love ambushing them from behind.

Some chains aren't forged in iron. Some are built from wanting someone you swore you'd never touch.
