Elena thought she understood debt. Numbers. Interest. A slow, humiliating climb back to zero. Then the syndicate sends her an address. In a penthouse that looks down on the city like it owns the air itself, Elena meets the man everyone calls the king of the underworld. He is calm, immaculate, and terrifyingly certain. Not because he can destroy her, but because he can save her… and he wants a price that has nothing to do with cash.
