DEAR CHAOTIC

Three locks. That's what Sera Duvall puts between herself and the world every night. One deadbolt. One chain. One barrel bolt she installed herself. She sleeps with a knife under her pillow and whispers her dead mother's words in the mirror every morning: You're fine. You're here. Nobody's coming.

Then someone comes.

A dead woman's ring appears on her kitchen counter - inside a locked apartment no one should have been able to enter. Her mother's wedding ring. The one that was supposed to be buried with her ten years ago. And engraved inside the band is a number that leads Sera straight into the heart of a shadow organization called The Tribunal - the same organization that murdered her mother and owns every piece of the life Sera thought she built herself.

Her scholarship. Her job. Her apartment. None of it was hers. All of it was a cage.

Then they assign him.

Judas Caine. Enforcer. Weapon. The most dangerous man in the building and the only one whose hands shake when he touches her. He's been ordered to keep her close, keep her compliant, keep her caged.

What Sera doesn't know is that Judas is secretly dismantling The Tribunal from within. What Judas can never tell her is the devastating secret that connects him to the worst night of her life - a truth that could destroy everything between them.

She was told to trust no one. He was built to feel nothing.

What happens when the cage falls in love with the key - and the key is forged from the same fire that burned everything down?
