She burned her empire to the ground and built her throne from the ashes. He walked into hell voluntarily - and is still waiting to walk back out.

Francesca Volkov spent thirteen years as the most beautiful ornament in a criminal dynasty. Now, with a council of wolves circling her throne and six months to prove she can lead what she intends to destroy, every step has to be invisible. Every move, calculated. Every ally, vetted.

Santiago Ramirez has kept his worlds ruthlessly separate for one hundred eighty-six days. He knows the cost of letting them bleed together. He knows exactly what's at stake.

He knew all of that before a woman pressed a gun to his temple and didn't pull the trigger.

Two operatives. One empire. A collision neither of them planned for - and a fire neither of them can walk away from.

Sovereign is Book Two of the Charon's Crossing Series - a dark contemporary romance featuring dual POV, morally complex characters, and a slow burn that ignites in the ruins of everything they're trying to save.
