Dangerous Solace
READING AGE 18+
Lucien Hale Verdan, the rightful heir of the Verdan Group, lived his entire life under control—his father’s commands, his family’s expectations, and the quiet threat of a stepmother who wanted to eliminate him.
So, he left.
Not as a rebellion… but as an escape.
Under the guise of business trips, Lucien searched for something he couldn’t name—until he met Neriah Laurent Rios.
A wild, fearless, and dangerously alive woman whom he saw, Neriah was everything he was not allowed to be.
She didn’t chase power. She ran from it. And yet, she carried a strength that even men feared.
She became his peace, chaos, and his dangerous solace.
But when the Verdan family begins hunting him down, Lucien realizes the truth—
The only person willing to stand between him and his own blood is the woman who was never meant to stay.
Loving Neriah Laurent Rios means defying his family.
And for the first time in his life… Lucien chooses to fight back.
Unfold
NERIAH was sitting on a bench overlooking the River Thames when her phone finally rang. Hindi niya kasama si Lucien dahil may importante itong pinuntahan. Pero alam niyang may ka-business meeting ito.
Gumuhit ang ngiti sa kaniyang labi nang makita niya kung sino ang nasa caller ID.
“Kuya,” bati niya.
