Only To Be Without, Book 1

In a parallel universe, New York is a nightmare city run secretly by demons and under siege by human gangs. Gravesend, Brooklyn is Hell on Earth, a neighborhood held in the iron grip of a sadistic and feared Capo, the untouchable Jimmy 'the Mouth' Chiellini: a man who has made a literal deal with a devil to earn and maintain his power.

The devil herself is a real soulless, bloodsucking lawyer. Nia Bianchi, the First Born who has pledged to serve and protect her human lover for the rest of his unnaturally long life in exchange for the ability to live and work as a human herself: she is ever fickle and grows bored with what the Agency and the Don have to offer. Meeting a human with the intention of devouring him whole, she is shocked to discover an uncontrollable attraction to this strange nobody.

Peter Chiellini, a desperately lonely associate to the New Brooklyn Camorra catfishes his newest date by claiming to also be an accountant, only to realize he wasn't the only one who lied about working for the Mob.

When he tries to create some distance between Nia and himself, he is horrified to learn his new love interest has been keeping more secrets than just what she does for a living, and that she isn't the sort of person who is accustomed to taking no for an answer.

Meanwhile, Nia's protege, Becca Rhee, a young girl with a festering hatred of Don Chiellini, a girl with her own ties to the K-Town mafia in Manhattan, forms an unlikely alliance with the newest resident of Gravesend, insurgent Toni Zabrowska, a Brighton Beach Bratva avtoritet who is much more than what he seems.

As love, rage, pride, violence and lust vie for dominance, a gang war brews that will forever change not only the lives of these four, but the face of south Brooklyn itself.

Warnings include graphic sexual situations, criminal activity, noncon and dubcon, drug use, and graphic violence.
