"You have the kind of face that should come with a warning label." Too bad Olivia painted it for everyone to see.

She's an artist with too much curiosity and not enough self-preservation—the kind of woman who wanders into the darkest corners of Vespera because the light there is interesting. Putting the most dangerous man in the city on canvas was never the plan. She's never even seen his face. No one has.

Ruvan rules the underworld with shadows at his command. No one outside his circle has ever seen his face—until Olivia. One look at her painting and he knows two things: someone betrayed him, and killing her would be the safest option.

Instead, he keeps her close. Instead, she keeps talking. Instead, sparks ignite where there should only be fear.

But Olivia is hiding something—rare, unregistered magic that could unravel the system keeping people like her branded and controlled. And when light collides with shadow, their attraction might be the spark that burns the whole city down.

Perfect for fans of dark, slow-burn romance: a grumpy crime lord, a reckless sunshine artist, and a city where love is as lethal as power.
