AFTER

Every fairy tale has a villain.

I know because I'm hers.

Kita already had a protector. Damian was her black knight, the dangerous man willing to bleed for her, kill for her, and follow her into the dark.

I wanted her anyway.

So I studied her. Learned her routines. Collected pieces of her life. Then I stole her from a crowded ballroom and locked her inside my secluded estate, where money could buy silence and every door answered to me.

I expected fear.

I expected hatred.

Eventually, I expected surrender.

Kita gave me something far more dangerous.

She learned my house. Turned my employees against me. Uncovered the women I had buried beneath lies and money. Then she used my obsession to gain access to the secrets holding my empire together.

I thought I had captured a damsel.

I brought feminine rage into my home.

Now Damian is coming through my gates, Kita has a match in her hand, and everything bearing the Cane name is ready to burn.

I'm Lorenzo Cane.

The billionaire. The captor. The bad guy.

And this is the story of how I lost the only woman I ever wanted.

Ever After You is a first-person dark romantic suspense thriller featuring a possessive billionaire villain, abduction, psychological horror, obsessive love, a protective black knight, feminine rage, morally gray desire, and an ending that leaves the door cracked for more.
