The Conqueror

Layla never intended to walk back into his world.
But when her daughter’s life depended on a bone marrow transplant, she had no choice.
Out of the millions on this earth—he was the perfect match.
Zaley Raines. They call him The Conqueror for a reason. He doesn’t run this city—he owns it.
Cold, lethal, untouchable.The kind of man whose name alone silences a room... and whose hands are stained with blood, if the headlines are even half true. She swore she'd stay away. She promised herself she would never let him near their daughter. But desperate mothers break promises. And Layla is prepared to beg the devil himself—if it means keeping Lilly alive.
Except the devil remembers nothing.
Not the fire.
Not the heartbreak.
Not the night he shattered her with a single word.
“Tell me one thing, Layla…”
His voice is low, like thunder before the storm.
“Was I ever yours? Or was I just the fool who forgot you?”
He doesn’t remember her… but he remembers her scent.
And what he demands in exchange for saving their child is more than a deal—it’s a reckoning.
Because the closer he gets, the more the cracks in his memory start to bleed.
And when he finally remembers?
He won’t beg.
He won’t fall.
He’ll rise.
To reclaim her.
To destroy those who wronged her.
To conquer every part of the woman he once forgot how to love.
