The Velvet Cage

He was the monster I was warned about. I just didn’t know he had been watching me for years.

Sybil Vance I was sold to pay a debt. My father handed me over to the most ruthless, untouchable mafia boss in Chicago in a wedding dress, entirely expecting me to break. Thayer Thorne is a sociopath.

He is cold, calculating, and terrifyingly obsessed with me. He locked me in a world of bulletproof glass and dark secrets, stripping away everything I knew.

But the most dangerous part of my captivity isn’t the men hunting us, or the blood on my husband’s hands. The real danger is that I’m starting to fall in love with the bars of my cage.

Thayer Thorne I murdered my own father to take the crown, but I burned the world to the ground to keep her. Sybil was never just a pawn. She was my endgame from the moment I saw her.

I dragged her into the shadows to protect her from the light, and I will slaughter anyone who tries to take her from me—even her own family. She thinks I’m a monster. She’s right.

But she’s my queen, and I will make her realize that she belongs to the devil.
