One night. No consequences. That’s what he promised me. When Damien Cross—Manhattan’s most enigmatic billionaire—slipped a midnight invitation into my clutch, I should have said no. I should have walked away from the hunger in his silver eyes and the secrets lurking behind his perfect smile. But I didn’t. I went to his penthouse. I let him touch me. And in a single, breathless moment, I surrendered everything I thought I knew about desire. Now I’m tangled in a world of luxury and temptation I can’t escape. He says he doesn’t do commitment. He says he can’t offer more than tonight. But every time he whispers my name, every time he drags me to the edge of pleasure, I start to believe the most dangerous lie of all— That I can survive loving a man who was never meant to be mine.

Sinopse – “Sob o Ruído da Cidade” Em um mundo onde quase todos nascem com individualidades — habilidades únicas que moldam carreiras, status e sobrevivência —, ser forte não é mais uma escolha. É uma sentença. Kael Arashi não quer salvar o mundo. Nem destruí-lo. Com seus poderes — ele vive à margem da sociedade, longe dos holofotes da Associação de Heróis, longe dos vilões mascarados. Seu único objetivo? Tornar-se forte o bastante para viver em paz, sem depender de ninguém. Mas a cidade nunca dorme. Enquanto Kael tenta desaparecer nas sombras da metrópole, uma nova ameaça cresce em silêncio. Um homem sem poderes, nascido da dor e do abandono, constrói um exército a partir dos esquecidos — e jura apagar o mundo das individualidades, custe o que custar. Dois caminhos distantes. Duas ideologias opostas. E um confronto inevitável. Nesta história de ação lenta, suspense psicológico, comédia amarga e laços improváveis, a linha entre heróis e vilões é turva, e até mesmo a bondade pode ser uma forma de controle. Nem todo herói é bom. Nem todo vilão é cruel. E às vezes, a única forma de paz... é a guerra que você tentou evitar.

Eighteen and jaded now, Kyoline makes friends with bartending shifts, gun-running, and caring for the siblings nobody else will. Love is not on the agenda—survival is.
