The Kiss Of Death

When Dalia Mercier steps through the iron gates of Pantheon University, she carries nothing but a violin, a dead mother's promise, and absolutely no idea that she's just walked into the lair of the most dangerous man on campus.

Levi is a ghost in the machine — a brilliant, morally corrupt hacker who controls Pantheon's elite from the shadows, pulling strings no one else can even see. He doesn't do soft things. He doesn't do innocent things. And yet, from the moment Dalia draws her bow across her strings, he becomes utterly, catastrophically obsessed. Her melody has gotten under his skin like a curse, and he's determined to break both it and her.

But Dalia isn't the sweet, untouchable girl everyone assumes she is. Behind her careful composure lies a labyrinth of grief, secrets, and a darkness that mirrors his own in ways neither of them is prepared to confront.

Set against the hauntingly beautiful backdrop of a gilded gothic campus, *The Kiss of Death* is a slow-burn, psychologically charged romance where the line between enemy and obsession dissolves one devastating encounter at a time. The tension crackles, the secrets compound, and the closer Levi gets to dismantling Dalia's walls, the more his own begin to crumble.

Two broken people. One cursed melody. And a game where falling in love might be the most lethal move of all.
