Bound by the Midnight Debt

I smashed the death mark crawling up his neck with my mother's lighter—and watched it burn into my wrist instead. Now the bleeding heir in the penthouse elevator says I have seven nights to keep him alive. If Kael Mercer survives, my brother's debt disappears. If he dies, his enemies collect my entire family. He calls it protection when he locks me in his safe house, but his cold hands linger too long when he checks the curse spreading under my skin, and the hunters trying to kill him keep whispering my mother's name—the one she used the night she vanished. He's hiding something. The contract burning between us isn't just blood magic. And the woman who wants him dead knows exactly where my mother went. I can rip his throat out and run—or stay close enough to hear the truth, even if his enemies gut me for it.
