Etched in Ashes

Maxwell King is a neurosurgeon who saves lives with a steady hand; I am the artist he broke until mine wouldn't stop shaking. He promised to be my cure, but he became my most elegant disease, cloaking his cruelty in the high-society glitz of Beverly Hills. He wanted a masterpiece of a woman—polished, silent, and still—so he shattered my work to ensure I’d never leave his side. He thinks he’s the one who controls the scalpel, but he’s about to learn that the most dangerous things are born from the cracks he left behind.
