She came to study the criminal mind. He made her part of it. Lola Owens is a Forensic Psychology Masters student at University College London—sharp, ambitious, and careful with her heart. One night at The Velvet Sanctum, a borrowed red dress and a borrowed invitation place her under the unblinking gaze of Marcel Malone, the ruthless ruler of a glittering nightlife empire built on secrets and blood. What begins as protective attention becomes total surveillance. Drivers. Cameras. Shadowed paths through her ordinary life. When a rival turns Lola into leverage, Marcel answers with violence he calls salvation. Beneath the club’s velvet corridors she glimpses the empire’s true machinery—and still her attraction deepens. Then she holds the Sanctum Ledger: files, an order of violence, proof that could destroy him. Turning it in would save her future. Destroying it would seal her place at his side. From Ebony L. Wolfe comes a searing dark romance of age-gap obsession, criminal loyalty, and the moment an innocent chooses possession over innocence—and never looks back.
