He rules Manhattan's underworld with blood. She was never supposed to touch it.
Serena Hale lives behind locked doors and careful routines, hiding the scars of a past no one sees. Her quiet flower shop is her sanctuary-until Theo Sorrentino walks in.
Cold. Lethal. Untouchable.
They call him the Devil of Manhattan, a king among criminals who crushes anyone that breathes wrong in his direction. But when Theo looks at Serena, something breaks. Something dangerous.
He wants her. Gentle, unshakable, his.
Serena knows monsters. She sees the violence curled beneath Theo's expensive suits and calm control. But the way he protects her-the way he watches her-pulls her into a world she swore she'd never enter.
Now the bodies are piling up, and the war is coming home. And in the wreckage of power, betrayal, and blood, love might be the most dangerous thing of all.
Because in Theo's world, you don't fall in love.
You survive it.
