Crown of Thorns

Cassian Thorn never expected love to ruin him. He certainly never expected it to come from Owen Hale-a quiet, ordinary man who saw past the tailored suits and cold ambition to the desperate heart beneath. So when family duty calls, Cassian makes the devastating choice: marry for legacy, lose everything else. Three years later, Owen resurfaces at Cassian's side-but he's no longer alone. He belongs to Lucius Ashbourne, a predatory billionaire who collects beautiful things and breaks them slowly. And Lucius has a plan: destroy Cassian completely, using the very man Cassian loved as the weapon. In a game of power and manipulation, alliances shift like shadows. And when the truth finally emerges, it will cost everything-including the love they fought so hard to bury. Sometimes the crown isn't worth the cost. But sometimes, it's the only thing worth fighting for.
