Introduction

Being a woman who is as territorial as any man is challenging in today's world. Just look at my boyfriend. He's the perfect example of how oblivious people can be-he doesn't even know he's my boyfriend yet.

Meet Maia Romanos, a woman whose life is as lethal as her touch. Poisonous to innocent souls, she's a force to be reckoned with, exploring and surviving in a world that's as treacherous as she is. Driven by an insatiable need to protect what's hers, Maia is both feared and revered. Her world is a maze of shadows, where trust is a luxury and betrayal lurks at every corner.

Enter Raze Xavier, a man who didn't choose the darkness but was born into it. Pushed into a ruthless existence, Raze has learned to survive by any means necessary. His life is a constant battle, a testament to resilience in the face of relentless adversity. He's a mystery, a fortress with walls so high that few dare to climb them.

When Maia's obsession with Raze begins, it's not just infatuation-it's a burning need to uncover the man beneath the muscles, smiles and tattoos. As she digs deeper, she unravels the layers of Raze's true self, discovering secrets that could either bind them together or tear them apart. Maia's pursuit is relentless, driven by a desire that blurs the lines between love and possession.

Raze, on the other hand, must confront his own demons as Maia's presence forces him to face truths he's long buried. Will he accept Maia for who she truly is-a lethal woman with a heart capable of fierce loyalty-or will he retreat into the safety of his solitary existence?

Their story is a dance of danger and desire, where every step brings them closer to a reckoning. Will Maia and Raze become each other's salvation, or are they destined to remain strangers, forever circling but never truly connecting?
