The proposal began as a reckless, champagne-fueled impulse. However, he slid the black diamond onto her finger while her blood still stained his lips.

Luke Hawthorne is a ruthless billionaire heir, inheriting a Wall Street empire founded on ruthless deals and hidden secrets. Emily Voss is a brilliant girl from the wrong side of the tracks, haunted by a past she believed she had left behind forever.
When her sudden period upsets their ideal evening at his family's gala, Luke remains unfazed. He kneels in the marble bathroom, willingly tastes her, and boldly asks her to marry him—immediately, on the spot, with her mess on his tongue and a fierce possessiveness in his gaze.

It's meant to be wild. Reckless. Just driven by the heat of the moment. But as ghosts from her childhood come back—monsters who should be dead but aren't—and threats surround his throne, Luke's obsession becomes deadly. He'll kill to keep her. She'll burn worlds just to stand beside him.

What began as a dirty, blood-stained yes turns into something deeper, darker, and unbreakable.

Publisher's Note: Ringfire is a standalone dark billionaire obsession romance (Flame Empire Book 1) with a hard-won HEA and a pregnancy epilogue. It features intense, boundary-pushing sexual scenes (blood/period play, knife play, breath play, primal dominance, breeding kink, dub-con edges), graphic violence/on-page murder, stalking, power exchange, and references to childhood trauma.

18+ only. If this material offends you, please refrain from buying this book. If you're prepared to feel the fire... welcome to the empire.
