But when Ryder Blackstone, a ruthless and powerful mafia heir, enters her life, everything changes. Dark, dangerous, and obsessed with Nina, Ryder sees her as his destiny. She's everything he's been waiting for, and he'll stop at nothing to make her his. His family's ancient, twisted rituals are about to bind her to his world, where love is both a weapon and a prison. But Nina won't give up without a fight. Trapped by her family's greed and Ryder's suffocating obsession, she plans to escape the luxurious but dark world Ryder has drawn her into. The only way to freedom is to run-but with Ryder's eyes everywhere, Nina knows she can never outrun him for long. As their paths collide in a dangerous game of power, possession, and love, will Nina find a way to escape Ryder's grip, or will she become another pawn in the Blackstone family's ruthless empire?

In a city where power is built on blood and betrayal, Rafael Castillo reigns as the ruthless leader of the Castillo crime syndicate. Feared by his enemies and revered by his men, he controls an empire of sin-one where loyalty is absolute, and mercy is a weakness.

Determined to expose the corruption running through the city, she digs too deep, uncovering secrets that put a target on her back. When fate throws them together, Rafael sees Selena as a complication he doesn't need, and Selena sees him as the monster she's spent her life fighting against. Yet, the deeper she falls into his world, the more she realizes-monsters are not born, they are made. As lies unravel and enemies close in, Selena and Rafael are forced into a deadly game of trust, power, and undeniable passion. She is his weakness. He is her destruction. In an empire ruled by sin, love may be the most dangerous crime of all. ---
