God of War by Rina Kent (Book 6 of the Legacy of Gods Series)

Eli King is not like others. A sociopath with a cold, calculating nature, he doesn’t feel love the way most people do. For him, love is possession, control, and ownership. He’s a man who gets what he wants, no matter the cost, and for years, what he’s wanted is Ava.

But Ava doesn’t remember any of that. She wakes up in a hospital with no memory of the last few years. The man holding her hand tells her they’ve been married for two years. Married. To Eli King. The man who broke her heart long ago and whose presence she’s avoided ever since.

Determined to uncover the truth, Ava starts piecing together her missing memories. What she finds shocks her—a marriage born of secrets, lies, and a connection that refuses to be severed. Despite her attempts to resist, Ava is drawn to the dark pull of her enigmatic husband.

Eli, on the other hand, seems content to keep her in the dark. He doesn’t want her digging too deeply, and his reasons for keeping their past buried are as cold and unyielding as he is. But Ava’s relentless pursuit of the truth begins to chip away at his armor, revealing glimpses of a man who feels more than he’s willing to admit—even to himself.

In this high-stakes game of power and passion, Ava and Eli must navigate hatred, secrets, and a bond that defies logic. Because while Eli may not know how to love, he knows how to hold on—and he’s not letting Ava go.
