Sienna Marks has always kept her head down at Luxe Enterprises, a sprawling tech empire where deadlines are tight, and expectations are high. But working directly under the enigmatic and devastatingly handsome CEO, Damon Cross, makes focusing on spreadsheets and reports a challenge. Damon is brilliant, meticulous, and unnervingly intense-but there’s something else about him, something otherworldly that sets her heart racing and sends shivers down her spine.Sienna thought her feelings for Damon were her deepest secret-until she stumbled upon one of his. Late one night, while finalizing a project in the deserted office, she sees Damon step into the moonlight pouring through the floor-to-ceiling windows. His shadow doesn’t behave like it should-it moves independently, forming shapes that whisper in an ancient, haunting language. In that moment, Sienna realizes Damon is not entirely human.Damon Cross has spent centuries hiding what he truly is, a shadow-bound immortal cursed to walk the line between light and darkness. As Sienna begins to uncover pieces of his secret, he finds himself drawn to her in ways he’s fought to suppress. Her curiosity, her warmth, her quiet strength-she’s everything he’s forbidden himself to want. But Damon knows his curse doesn’t just make him dangerous-it makes loving him deadly.As strange occurrences begin to escalate at Luxe Enterprises, from flickering lights to ominous apparitions, Sienna realizes the company’s success is tied to the same dark force that binds Damon. A rival entity has set its sights on Damon’s power, and Sienna is unwittingly caught in the crossfire.
