Intro. Adrian Knox is a man the city fears—an untouchable mafia boss whose name is spoken in whispers and blood. Cold, calculated, and ruthless, he has never been ruled by emotion… until Ivy.
Ivy is ordinary, quiet, and painfully unaware of the danger she attracts simply by existing. One accidental encounter is enough for Adrian to fixate on her. What begins as distant watching turns into silent protection—threats vanish, men disappear, and Ivy never knows how close she comes to danger.
Believing no one could ever be obsessed with her, Ivy runs. She changes cities, starts over, and convinces herself she’s finally free.
She’s wrong.
When Adrian appears at her new apartment, Ivy realizes she was never being hunted—she was being claimed. Trapped between fear and an unsettling sense of safety, Ivy must face a man whose love is violent, whose protection is absolute, and whose obsession refuses to let her go.
Because Adrian Knox doesn’t chase.
He waits.
And once he finds you… he never lets go.
