In the glittering shadows of Bezauri, power comes with a price-and pleasure with peril. 
Aaliyah Roccio is no stranger to temptation, working the velvet-lined halls of Dante's Inferno, the city's most exclusive club for the elite. But when Joshua Hong-her father's enigmatic best friend and heir to a seductive empire-reenters her life, the line between forbidden and irresistible begins to blur. He's danger wrapped in tailored perfection. She's off-limits in every way that matters. As desire deepens into obsession, secrets simmer beneath the surface of Bezauri's luxurious façade. And in a city where loyalty is currency and love is a gamble, Aaliyah must decide what she's willing to risk for the one man she can never truly have. Dark. Decadent. Dangerous. Welcome to a world where pleasure is power-and love could cost you everything.
