Ninety days. That’s how long Ava Carter has to survive him. She’s rebuilt her life—new name, new city, a quiet job in the ER. But when Cesar Sánchez—a ruthless crime lord with a score to settle—finds her, the past comes roaring back in flames. He remembers the night she ruined him. She remembers nothing but smoke. “Ninety days,” he growls, blade at her throat. “You’re mine. Body. Breath. Screams.” Ava doesn’t beg. She fights. But Cesar drags her into his violent empire of luxury and blood, where every touch is punishment… and something dangerously close to pleasure. As enemies close in and her sister’s life hangs in the balance, Ava uncovers a devastating she wasn’t an innocent bystander—she was the spark that lit the fire. Now, she has one impossible surrender to the man who wants to own her… or burn him to the ground. But love and hate live in the same breath. And when the ash settles, someone won’t make it out alive.
