Layla never intended to walk back into his world.
But when her daughter’s life depended on a bone marrow transplant, she had no choice.
Out of the millions on this earth—he was the perfect match.

Zaley Raines. They call him The Conqueror for a reason. He doesn’t run this city—he owns it.

And when he finally remembers?
He won’t beg.
He won’t fall.

He’ll rise.
To reclaim her.
To destroy those who wronged her.
To conquer every part of the woman he once forgot how to love.
