Like Beauty and the Beast—except everyone hides a monster inside.

Birdie isn’t the shy, brilliant intelligence analyst everyone thinks she is. She carries a secret sin so heavy it drives her to risk everything—again and again—as penance for a life she failed to save. Beneath her calm surface, a relentless vigilante fights a war fueled by guilt and fear.

Bastien was born into darkness. The son of a brutal man, destruction runs in his blood. He joined the SEALs hoping to conquer his demons, but when control shatters, Bastien loses it all—his career, his future, and any chance at love.
They’re drawn to each other but shackled by doubt. Birdie fears Bastien will cast her out when he uncovers her secret. Bastien fears he’ll hurt the one woman who sees good in him.

When their broken worlds collide, illusions shatter.

Bastien happens to be in the right place at the right time when one of Birdie’s solo stings goes sideways. He saves her from the vigilante mission gone wrong, but his arrival blows her secret wide open. Yet instead of walking away in disgust like she expects, he becomes the one thing she never thought she’d have: an anchor.

Birdie, just as determined, won’t give up. Not on him. Whatever scars, whatever ghosts, whatever monsters haunt Bastien, she’s determined to prove that the beast he sees in the mirror is a lie—and that the man he’s fighting to bury is worth bringing back to the light.

Together, they face their demons and find a fragile peace. But one demon refuses to stay buried. He's watching Birdie, and despite every safeguard, slips through and takes her right from under their noses.

The chains holding Bastien’s demons rattle. This is a race against time, and there’s no room for mercy. Losing this fight means losing them both. Bastien is ready to tear open the cage he built around his darkness, unleashing hell itself if it’s the only way to save Birdie.
