Fractured Harmony

ROME MAVERICK

She was never supposed to be my problem. Storm Crowne is reckless, younger than me, and way too tempting for her own good. Plus, she thrives off of drama, talks entirely too much, and always makes questionable choices that piss me off.

An enemy wants her dead and now she needs a bodyguard. Since my twin brother married her sister, her family decided it was my job to protect her. I’m the brother who keeps the peace and the one who carries the weight so no one else has to. I don’t cross lines. I don’t lose control.

But Storm?

She’s a hurricane of chaos that I can’t outrun. She pushes and I pull. She defies and I demand. She protests and I insist. She doesn’t get that this isn’t a game. I’m here to keep her alive. If that means breaking her down and stripping away every ounce of fight she has until she listens to me, so be it.

Because in my world, obedience isn’t optional. And Storm will learn that she can either bend, or she can break. But she will obey.

In a world of power and betrayal, blood binds the Maverick family, but love could tear them apart.
