Overview

Oakley was sold like property—auctioned off in the shadows of the dark web and thrown into a life where pain was routine and care was a myth. Years of captivity taught him one thing: hope is a lie.

Then Sabastian appears. Not as a savior, but as a man with his own demons. Older. Calculated. Too gentle to be safe, too kind to be trusted.

Their connection is twisted from the start—built on trauma, power, and the slow unraveling of everything Oakley thought he knew. Love isn’t soft here. It’s sharp. It cuts deep. And sometimes, it hurts more than the cage ever did.

This is not a romance. It’s survival.

And in the wreckage of control and submission, something brutal and beautiful begins to bloom.
