Roman and Layla At its heart, this book is about possession, protection, and the kind of love that thrives in the shadows. It’s about a man who rules his world with fangs and fire… until one woman walks into it and turns his universe inside out. And it’s about a woman who refuses to be just “protected” …who claims her space in that dangerous world and reshapes it in her image. Roman isn’t your brooding, misunderstood hero. He’s dangerous in the way a storm is dangerous… beautiful, awe-inspiring, and capable of destruction if you’re foolish enough to test it. His love for Layla is possessive and unapologetic. He doesn’t just want her safe; he wants her claimed so completely that the thought of another man looking at her feels like a challenge to his life. Layla, on the other hand, isn’t content to be caged in velvet. She’s stubborn, fiery, and unwilling to lose herself in someone else’s shadow, even if that shadow happens to be wrapped around her like a fortress. Watching her push back against Roman’s dominance, while slowly realizing she’s as addicted to his protection as he is to her presence.
