    Summary

    It was supposed to be a deal. His name, her safety, shared power, no debts. Clean lines. Clear terms.

    A year later, the Rust Syndicate moves around her without needing orders. Corbeau sleeps better with her in his bed, plans every contingency with her already accounted for, and still insists it’s logistics, not love.

    But when a rival syndicate takes the one variable he never prepared for, the city finds out what happens when a man who lives on control finally loses it.
