In the city of New Lucerne, the police don't run the streets. The monsters do.
Scarlett is just a waitress trying to pay off her father's debts and stay completely invisible. But invisibility is a luxury you lose when you accidentally witness a brutal execution in a dark alley.
The murderer isn't just a mobster. He is Dante Russo, the ruthless Alpha of the Italian Lycan Syndicate-and the most feared man in the city.
Scarlett expects a bullet to the head. Instead, when Dante's glowing, predatory eyes lock onto hers, his inner beast recognizes the impossible. She isn't just a witness. She is his fated mate.
To protect her from the rival vampire families who want the witness silenced, Dante gives her a chilling ultimatum: take a bullet, or wear his ring.
Forced into a fake marriage and locked inside his heavily fortified estate, Scarlett finds herself trapped in a deadly world of tailored suits, silver bullets, and dark magic. Dante is a cold, calculated killer who trusts no one. But as rival families close in and the danger escalates, Scarlett realizes the most terrifying thing isn't the mafia war brewing outside.
It's the way her ruthless, monster of a "fake" husband will slaughter anyone who dares to look at her.
