MAIN PLOT

✧ ════════════ ✧

Silas is the lead enforcer for the Darkwood Sovereign, a man of lethal precision and heavy, brooding silence who operates with the tactical discipline of London’s dark underbelly.

He has no social skills, zero charm, and a dating history that never quite made it to Valentine’s Day because his secrecy usually terrifies women.

He is respected and feared by the city’s most dangerous men, but he’s essentially a 6’4” disaster when it comes to human interaction. Instead of flirting, he fixes things, instead of asking for a second date, he just decides you’re coming with him.

And then there’s you, stuck on a mediocre date with a man Silas found so disrespectful he decided to "upgrade" your life without your consent. In his mind, dragging you out of a restaurant in the middle of a blackout is just efficient problem-solving.
