Elena Novak is a survivor. Working a grueling shift at The Obsidian, the city's most exclusive underground club, her only goal is to fly under the radar. But when she walks into the VIP lounge, she comes face-to-face with Damon Vance-the ruthless, cold-blooded heir to a criminal empire.

As lines blur between hatred and dangerous obsession, Elena must figure out what is more terrifying: the monsters hunting her from the shadows, or the man holding her key.A slow-burn, dark mafia romance filled with high-stakes tension, toxic power dynamics, and a fierce heroine who fights back.
