Caged: A Monster Romance (Monsters Rule #5)

She came to steal fuel and spark revolution—she didn't plan to fall into the warlord’s cage… or his heat.

Ione was a rebel with nothing left to lose—until the mission went sideways and she ended up shackled inside the fortress of Ashhaven, caged beside the throne of the enemy she’s spent her life fighting. Overlord Rahz is everything she brutal, inhuman, and terrifyingly powerful. But when his amber eyes linger too long and his voice sinks into her skin like heat, hatred starts to twist into something far more dangerous. She's not supposed to want him. She's not supposed to look forward to the way he watches her like she’s already his.

Rahz should have traded her the moment she was captured—a rebel, a threat, a symbol of defiance. Instead, he orders her cage moved closer. Her scent burns in his blood. Her stare slices through armor no blade ever has. She tests him, tempts him, makes him forget strategy in favor of obsession. And every time she talks back, every time she trembles but doesn’t look away, he wants more. She's the spark in the middle of his stronghold, and he knows he should extinguish it. But he’s starting to think he’d rather be consumed.
