\[Siren Publishing: The Lynn Hagen ManLove Collection: Erotic Romance, Contemporary, Alternative, Paranormal, Fantasy, Vampires, MM, HEA\] Some men are forged in fire. Others are born from the abyss. I am Giovanni Winterhaven—harbinger of chaos, dealer of death. Even darkness knows when to fear its own monster. The whistle of my blades has razed empires and felled kings. My heart? Long buried in the ruins of my past. And then I met him. A fire that refuses to be extinguished, a storm that shakes the foundations of everything I have built. He should have been insignificant, a fleeting moment in my long and bloody existence. Instead, he has become the one thing I cannot live without. The one thing I will not lose. I will rip my own darkness apart if it means giving him even a sliver of light. He is my solace. My salvation. For him, I would betray my nature. For him, I would let the world burn. For Kyson, I would risk my soul.

\[Siren Publishing: The Lynn Hagen ManLove Collection: Erotic Romance, Contemporary, Alternative, Paranormal, Vampires, Fantasy, Suspense, MM, HEA\] Some are haunted by their past. Others carve their destiny from the ashes. I was never meant to rule. Never meant to lead. I was never meant to survive. But power is a cruel inheritance, carving my name into history. I have spent years running—from my past, from my name, from the blood staining my hands. But the past is not so easily buried. And now, standing in the wreckage, I find him. He is a reminder of all I cannot have. Too fierce to break, too fragile to withstand the storm I bring. He should have turned away, should have run. Instead, he looks at me like I’m something worth saving. His touch unearths parts of me forgotten, awakening something I cannot name. For him, I will fight the past that haunts me. For him, I will face the tragedy I have long avoided. For Noam, I will raze the past to the ground.
