Niemand kent Henry, maar dat is omdat hij ervoor zorgt dat hij verborgen blijft. Hij heeft een lucratieve baan in de onderwereld, namelijk als black hat hacker voor het Syndicaat. Hij vertrouwt niemand meer, geen enkele vrouw… tot hij Mary tegenkomt. Veel te jong, veel te zorgeloos en veel te sexy om te negeren. Al mag hij geen onenightstand met haar van zichzelf en al is ze niet beschikbaar, hij maakt het zijn taak om haar voor een gewisse dood te behoeden. En dan vliegen de vonken ervanaf.

They think they can cage me. They’ve forgotten what happens when a berserker breaks free. My captor wants to make me his bride and his weapon. To claim both my heart and my power. But my heart already belongs to three men who would die before they let him have me. A dragon shifter fighting to protect me. A mutant bleeding to save me. A berserker standing on the edge of redemption. Together, we’ve survived darkness. Now, we’ll destroy it. Because love this fierce doesn’t bow to kings. It builds empires—or burns them to ash.

They call me a monster. But the real monster wears a crown. The beast inside me should have been my salvation. Instead, it’s my curse. Captured by the Lord of the House of Berserkers, I’m his prisoner, his obsession—and the prize in a deadly game. My three men would burn the world to reach me. A dragon shifter whose fire scorches everything it touches. A gentle mutant with a heart too pure for this place. And a berserker whose rage mirrors my own. Together, we’ve survived hell before. But this time, love might not be enough to save us. Because some cages aren’t made of iron.

They say love makes you weak. They’ve never met the men who make me strong. I’m the only female berserker in existence. A living weapon wrapped in prophecy. They say whoever wins my heart will gain unimaginable power, and now a dark king is determined to claim me as his own. But three men stand between me and his darkness. A dragon shifter who burns for me like fire. A broken mutant who looks at me like I’m his salvation. And a haunted warrior, and my oldest friend, who reminds me what love once felt like. Together, we might survive the prophecy. Together, we might even change it.
