He is the ghost who launders money for the global underworld. A genius. A monster. A man living in sensory hell. Born with violent synesthesia, sound fractures his skull like shattered glass. Lies taste like ash. Chaos looks like neon knives. He built an empire of silence to keep the world out. Until the moment he pins her against the server rack. His hand closes around her wrist—and the screaming stops. The pain vanishes. The world goes quiet. He doesn't arrest her. He doesn't kill her. He traps her in his glass penthouse—a gilded cage locked by his own heartbeat. Sloane isn't just a prisoner. She is his drug. His cure. His obsession. And Kaelen Voss does not share what is his. _________________________________________She hates him. He needs her. But when the truth shatters her world, the line between captor and savior blurs. The man who raised her—her beloved godfather, Director Silas Crane—isn't a hero. He is the monster who bought Kaelen for $50,000 as a child. Who broke him. Who turned a boy into a weapon. And Sloane was the arrow aimed at his own victim. Faced with the ruins of everything she believed, Sloane makes a choice that will change them both. She locks the door. From the inside. If the law failed her, she'll find justice in the arms of the devil. If her godfather wants war, she'll give him fire. And if loving Kaelen Voss makes her a monster? So be it. Let the world scream.
