The Reckoning

He was born to rule. But to protect her, he'll become the monster he swore he'd never be.

Sebastian had it all—power, control, and the woman who made him feel almost human. Until a devastating secret ripped his world apart. Now, stripped of his title and haunted by betrayal, he descends into the criminal underworld he once abandoned… reclaiming the dark identity he tried to forget.

They used to call him The Punisher.
Now he's back—and he's out for blood.

Aurora thought she could escape the past. Escape him. But fate never plays fair. Broken-hearted and desperate for distance, she's forced back into Sebastian's dangerous orbit by a secret that could change everything: she's pregnant with his child.

She wants to hate him.
She wants to stay away.
But how do you resist the devil when you're carrying his heir?

As enemies close in and long-buried truths rise to the surface, Sebastian and Aurora must face their darkest demons—and each other. Passion turns poisonous. Trust becomes a battlefield. And love? Love might just be the deadliest weapon of all.
