Tekst achterflap

Valentina Malloway has spent years building walls to survive. Haunted by trauma and running from her past, she’s learned that control is safety — and love is a risk she can’t afford. By day, she hides behind quiet routines. By night, she becomes someone who sells fantasy to strangers behind a screen. Then she meets Ryder Graves. Powerful. Untouchable. The man who rules the city’s underworld from the shadows. He offers her a job — a chance at stability. But what seems like salvation quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Ryder doesn’t want to save her. He wants to own her. And the closer Valentina gets to him, the more she realizes that the line between protection and possession is razor thin. Trapped between fear and desire, she’ll have to decide how much of her soul she’s willing to surrender… because in Ryder’s world, love isn’t freedom — it’s a cage.

Biografie

Chelsey Britting is a mother and a writer—two worlds she embraces with equal parts passion and chaos. By day, she lives among small hands and soft voices; by night, she loses herself in dark stories where love hurts and desire turns dangerous. Her inspiration comes from the shadow side of emotion, where brokenness reveals beauty and silence screams with meaning. For Chelsey, writing is a form of survival—a way to find the light within the darkness, or to completely surrender to it.
