Beautiful Design (Hollow Kings #1)

I was invisible by design.

Just an accountant. A background character. Safe.

Until Briar Harrington noticed me.

He’s power in a tailored suit— a man who doesn’t ask, only decides. A predator who calls control protection and makes obedience feel like survival.

I was invited to a lavish Valentine’s ball as a test. I stayed because leaving meant erasure.

He offers me one choice: submit and be kept, or resist and be destroyed.

And the most dangerous truth of all?

I don’t want to escape. I want to belong.
