Romance, Erotica
Description
Bastion Penitentiary isn’t built for redemption. It exists for erasure. Buried deep in Death Valley, it swallows the unforgivable and spits out bones. The women who run it don’t believe in second chances.
Warden Sylva rules through pain, and Dr. Hart dissects guilt like flesh. Together, they run Bastion like a godless altar where pain is prayer and mercy doesn’t exist.
Lorenzo Vale is supposed to be just another monster locked away. But when the punishment starts, he doesn’t beg or scream. He doesn’t give them anything. He takes every beating and endures every cut, fighting through everything they weaponize against him.
His silence isn’t fear, it’s loyalty… and loyalty makes him dangerous.
