Lucien Vale

He’s a man who was never meant to belong to anyone — not even to himself. Cold ambition carved his path, and blood loyalty kept him alive. Now, bound to a woman he barely knows but can’t stop thinking about, he’s realizing that control isn’t the same as power. Name: Lucien Vale Age: 32 Occupation: Underworld negotiator / family diplomat Personality: Calculated, protective, slow-burning intensity with flashes of vulnerability Vibe: “The danger isn’t that I’ll hurt you — it’s that I’ll need you.”
