Sierra Russo never had a choice but to survive. Growing up in Blackridge-a city ruled by gangsters, dirty money, and bloodshed-she learned early that trust could get you killed and love was a dangerous game. But when she crosses paths with Dante Johnson, the reckless and unpredictable right-hand to the city's most feared crime boss, everything she thought she knew about survival is put to the test. Dante is a man with demons, a killer with a past drenched in secrets. Women fall at his feet, but Sierra? She sees through him. She makes him want something different-something more. But neither of them realize the truth that ties them together. As their slow-burning, forbidden love ignites, Sierra is forced to confront the devastating betrayal that binds them. When the truth comes out, will she choose revenge or the man she swore she'd never love? With the streets closing in, enemies lurking in every shadow, and a past they can't outrun, Sierra and Dante must decide: Is love enough to escape the life that made them? Or will blood and loyalty always come first?
