Summary
"We just sit in the water, and I almost fall asleep. It’s so relaxing. He kisses me and drains the tub, helping me out.
I’m so drowsy and tired from the warm water, I don’t even protest when Kenzo dries me off, carries me into the other room, and sits me on the bed.
Kenzo slathers me in cream to help with the welts before kissing each one better, then he pulls me into his arms, bending his body around me until his knees are bent in with mine and we’re curled together. "

Zamsii has survived her whole life by refusing to bend. She runs her bar with fists, fire, and a bat behind the counter—and in her city, that kind of strength is the only currency that keeps you alive. But when her father’s past comes calling, Zamsii becomes collateral in a world ruled by power, violence, and men who never let go of what they claim.
Taken by the Cobras—four men feared for their cruelty, intelligence, and absolute control—Zamsii refuses to break. She fights captivity, even as the lines between terror, obsession, and twisted desire begin to blur. They want to own her. To tame her. To turn her defiance into submission.
But Zamsii is no fragile bird in a cage.
