The Blackwood Claim
“You’re mine!” Axel growled, gripping my chin tightly, forcing me to look up at him. “Darling, the sooner you get that ingrained in your memory, the better it will be for you. Don’t fucking cross me.”
Remira Vaughn has spent most of her life being in control. She is used to being dominant when it comes to men, so when her father arranges a marriage between her and Axel Blackwood to keep their company afloat, she knows she’s doomed. Because the only person who has ever been able to control her is Axel Blackwood.
Axel is a man who takes what he wants, and what he wants is Remira. For reasons he keeps hidden, when the Vaughn family comes to ask for help, he requests Remira’s hand in marriage in return. When Remira tries to escape, he gets furious and changes the terms of the contract, claiming Remira as his.
Trapped in Axel’s cold world, Remira is determined to resist him at every turn, but his ruthless control and magnetic pull make escape nearly impossible. As her defiance pushes him to his limits, Axel begins to reveal cracks in his calculated facade, leaving Remira wondering whether he is a man, a monster, or something even more dangerous.
With enemies closing in and her family’s betrayal unraveling before her eyes, Remira must navigate a deadly game of lies, obsession, and twisted loyalty. But in a world where love and control blur into chaos, the biggest question remains:
Will she destroy Axel Blackwood, or will he destroy her first?
