ALISSONMy brother's debt wasn't supposed to have my name on it.His debt put me in the wrong room with the right monster. Dante Castellan doesn't ask. He decides. One signature and I'm living under his name, his rules, his security cameras. He says I'm collateral until the balance is paid. I say I'm not anyone's payment.He likes that I fight. He likes backing me into corners then acting like it's my choice when my pulse jumps. He's all control, cold eyes, expensive suits, and men with guns who call him sir. And the worst part is how fast my fear turns into heat when he gets close.In his world, you don't run. You don't scream. You don't get saved. You either break or you learn how to survive next to the devil who owns the city. DANTEHer brother borrowed from the wrong people. I bought the debt and I collected the only thing that mattered. Alisson Cross.She's stubborn. Mouthy. Brave in a way that makes men do stupid things. I don't reward disobedience. I correct it. I keep her where I can see her, touch her, and remind her what happens when someone tries to take what's mine.She thinks this is about money. It's not. It's about power. It's about sending a message. And it's about the fact that once I claimed her I stopped wanting to let her go.In my world, loyalty is bought and betrayal is buried. If Alisson stays, she lives. If she runs, I find her. If someone touches her, I start a war. This is the first book in the What Survives the Fire Series. Reading order:Slow BurnOpen FlameTotal Burn
