Abandoned as a child, Juliet "Jules" Hanover has always felt out of place. She's always wondered who she is and what happened the night her mother left her, but she's too afraid to face her past and consider the possibility that she might just not have been wanted.
After a childhood rife with abuse and uncertainty, Jules sets out to help others. Now a cop, with a year under her belt, the temptation to look into her past is stronger than ever.
When her ex shows up and the club erupts into chaos, forcing two officers running surveillance to reveal themselves, Jules thinks she's ruined. But when the tall, handsome bartender saves her life and takes a special interest in her, a door opens.
Suddenly, Jules is thrown into a world where no one is exactly who they appear to be and the slightest misstep could mean forfeiting her life. To stay under the radar she'll have to stick close to the man who saved her, but the longer she's in this world, the harder it gets to remember the truth from the lies. Before the mission is over, she may have to answer questions she's not ready to face. If she can survive long enough.

Shadows of deceit
In the gritty underbelly of a sprawling, neon-lit metropolis, a complex web of power, crime, and intrigue weaves its way through the city's heart. This is a mafia story, a tale of organized crime that unfolds in the shadows, where loyalty is as deadly as betrayal, and power is the ultimate currency. At the center of this seedy underworld is a charismatic and enigmatic mob boss, a figure whose influence extends far beyond the boundaries of legality. This mafia don is a master of manipulation, shrouded in an aura of charm that belies a ruthless and cunning mind. His empire stretches from illicit gambling dens to the drug trade, from extortion rackets to underground fight clubs. The city itself becomes a character in the story, its alleys and backstreets concealing secrets, and its towering skyscrapers casting long shadows over the criminal enterprises that flourish within. The juxtaposition of opulence and decay is striking, as glamorous penthouses overlook squalid tenements, and the echoes of power are heard amid the sirens and gunshots. The story's protagonists are a motley crew of characters, each with their own moral compass and motivations. A disillusioned detective, haunted by the memory of a loved one lost to the mafia's clutches, is determined to bring down the boss and dismantle the syndicate. Alongside him, a conflicted lawyer finds herself torn between her duty to uphold the law and her loyalty to a childhood friend entangled in the mafia's web. As the plot unfolds, alliances are forged and broken, betrayals and vendettas fuel the narrative, and the line between right and wrong blurs into shades of gray. Family ties, whether by blood or loyalty, play a pivotal role, as characters grapple with the choices they've made and the consequences that come with it.Concluida
