About the Book
Kingston Garcia built his empire on loyalty, sacrifice, and the belief that love was a liability he couldn’t afford. Karma built hers on justice, purpose, and a love deep enough to survive anything — or so she thought.
When betrayal reshapes everything between them, the line between protector and enemy dissolves. Karma must decide how far she’ll go to save a man who may no longer want to be saved. And King must decide whether the woman he’s spent years protecting is the one person his quest for vengeance will ultimately destroy.
“When the man Karma loves trades her life’s work for vengeance, saving him may mean becoming his enemy.”
Two Perspectives
Inside the Story
Two voices. One collision. Read the perspectives that drive the story.
KING — The Morally Gray Hero
“Because in my world, love doesn’t save you. It’s just another thing you learn how to lose.”
There are two kinds of men in my world: the ones who hesitate, and the ones who survive. I don’t hesitate.
Not when my father is murdered. Not when my family’s legacy is slipping through my hands. And not when the only way to secure my throne is to make a trade I can’t take back.
Karma wasn’t supposed to matter.
She made me want things I couldn’t afford: peace, purpose, a life that didn’t revolve around blood. For a moment, I thought I could have both. I was wrong.
I didn’t betray her because I wanted to. I did it because there was no other choice. Her invention bought me the truth. And the truth led me back to her father.
Now she looks at me like I’m the villain, and maybe I am. But I will protect what’s mine. I will finish what I started.
Even if it costs me her.
Because in my world, love doesn’t save you. It’s just another thing you learn how to lose.
