Shen**, Roman “Bane” Protsenko turns up on Jesse Carter’s doorstep with a bruised ego, a suspicious request, and the kind of charm that usually comes with strings attached. This is a **dark contemporary romance** with sharp banter, high stakes, and two people determined not to need anyone.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eJesse has sworn off men for good, protecting a heart that’s already been through the wringer. Bane, meanwhile, isn’t looking for love—he’s working an angle tied to Jesse’s powerful stepfather, and she’s meant to be leverage, not a complication. But Jesse isn’t easy to toy with, and the more Bane pushes, the more his goals start to blur.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003ePerfect for readers who enjoy **enemies-to-lovers tension**, morally grey heroes, and billionaire-family drama with emotional bite.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e \u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"cs3388614\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"cs95B300B\"\u003eAdd **Bane** to your shelf and see who gets to the truth first.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52241581539604,"sku":"9781399743501","price":22.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9781399743501_1.jpg?v=1773732277","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/bane","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
