Venom (Seven Vices Book 1) Some men don't just want to own you - they want to own you. Willow DeVeau never saw it coming. The job offer, the mansion, the contract - all of it was a trap carefully constructed by a man with unlimited resources and a vendetta to settle. Kellan De Luca is wealth incarnate, power personified, and dangerously obsessed with the one thing he can't her. In his world, Willow is a possession. A prize. A way to punish the past by controlling the present. Trapped in his penthouse under a contract that dictates everything from what she wears to when she speaks, she should hate him. She should. But Kellan is also brilliant, broken, and willing to burn down empires to keep her safe. As Willow gathers evidence to destroy him, she finds herself falling for the most dangerous man she knows. When a rival criminal kidnaps her to use as leverage, Kellan proves he'd torch the world to get her back. Faced with an impossible choice - betray the man she loves or accept a future built on lies - Willow chooses something him. But some loves don't have fairy tale endings. Some have something truth. Perfect for readers who love morally grey characters, psychological intensity, and romance that refuses to play it safe. Content Kidnapping, captivity, psychological manipulation, and explicit sexual content. Not a traditional HEA - but a hopeful one. Book 1 of the Seven Vices series. Each book is a standalone dark romance with different couples.
