"You should be careful looking at me like that, buttercup," I muse, " I have a filthy fucking memory. One glance at your mouth, and I'm remembering every time you used it to provoke me. One glance at your throat, and I'm remembering how you used to tilt your head when you wanted me to kiss you there. You're making it very difficult to be the gentleman you never believed I could be."

Jeon Jeongguk has always known how to destroy. Anything foolish enough to stand between him and what he wants.
But her?
She was the one thing he swore he would never break. And yet, somehow, he became the very thing she needed saving from. She was his weakness, his obsession, the one beautiful disaster he could never bring himself to let go of. He gave her the world with one hand and made her question her place in it with the other. He called it obsession. She called it home.
Until home became the place she feared the most.
Now, she's gone. And for the first time, Jeongguk is left with something he cannot threaten, manipulate, or force into submission.
He could bring the world to its knees, paint the streets red, and find her, drag her back into his arms to remind her that no distance could ever be enough to escape him.
But keeping her was never the same as being worthy of her. And a man who has spent his entire life mastering the art of destruction must now face the one thing he has never learned.
How to stop destroying what he loves... because some wounds don't bleed, some apologies arrive too late, and some monsters are so accustomed to being feared that they have no idea how to become someone worth staying for.
