Book 2
Lola Maddox was born into fire.
Daughter of a Mafia king, shielded, spoiled, and smothered, she was never meant to carry the weight of her family's bloody legacy. But when betrayal strikes from within and her world burns to ash, Lola is forced to rise-fiercer, sharper, deadlier than anyone expected.
Kade is a man haunted.
A former soldier turned handler, he's lived years with only vengeance in his veins and the ghosts of a wife and daughter he couldn't save. Protecting Lola Maddox should have been another job, another name on a file. Instead, she becomes the one thing he swore he could never have again-hope.
Bound together by war, betrayal, and a hunger they can't deny, Lola and Kade's bond is forged in blood and fire. But when Kane Soka-the monster who stole everything from them both-tightens his grip, Lola must embrace the weapon she's become. And Kade must decide if he can risk loving again, even when the world is determined to take everything from him.
Enemies circle. Loyalties fracture. And in the end, only fire will decide who rises... and who burns
