Susume Blumem

In the ruthless shadows of Aelbank City, Dominic Calvetti rules with an iron fist and a cold heart.
Feared by all, touched by none, he’s the king of a brutal empire—lethal, controlled, and utterly untouchable. Beneath the sharp suits and blood-soaked reputation lies a secret that haunts him: a rare skin condition that hides more than it reveals, and a past so twisted it’s chained behind silence.
Love? That’s a weapon he refuses to wield until she returns.
Jade—the girl he once saved, then let go.
But she’s not the trembling thing from before. She’s fierce now. Gorgeous. Unapologetically dangerous. And when she storms back into his world, all grown up and on fire, Dominic’s iron control begins to crack. Her curves, her mouth, her scent—everything about her is temptation sharpened to a blade.
She touches him like she’s not afraid of the monster.
She kisses him like she wants to be devoured.
And in the dark corners of his penthouse, pressed against glass windows and velvet sheets, she breaks every rule he’s ever lived by. Their chemistry is combustible—each stolen glance a spark, every touch a threat to unravel them both. He swore never to claim her. Now he can’t stay away.
But in Dominic’s world, pleasure comes with a price.
As their explosive affair deepens, enemies circle like vultures, and the empire he built begins to crack under the weight of obsession.
She could be his salvation—or the trigger that destroys them both.
He’s the king of sin. She’s the girl who dares to burn beside him.
🔥 Gritty power. Unhealed scars. Lust that turns to love—and love that could kill them both.

Was it fate or misfortune to fall for a man like him? Am I the light he craves, or will he pull me into his world of shadows?
