A filthy noir short story about desire, power, and the one man she was never meant to want.
When she slips into her father’s forbidden study, she expects it to be empty — silent, untouched, safe.
Not him — her father’s closest friend, the man who vanished years ago, the man whose presence once felt like a warning she was too young to understand.
He’s older now. Sharper. Carrying the kind of weight and history that makes a dangerous man impossible to look away from.
He shouldn’t touch her. She shouldn’t want him. Their families built everything on loyalty, and this is the fault line no one survives.
But oaths crack the moment heat shifts between them — and tonight, the house isn’t the only thing too full.
Dark, intimate, and atmospheric, Oathkeeper deepens the world of Syndicate’s Daughters — a series where desire is leverage, loyalty is a trap, and every kiss feels like a crime.
