After five years of running from a crushing past experience, 24 year old Aaron Clarke returns to his home town of a dark and not too distant future London.

He is quickly thrust into an inevitable life of crime alongside his friends and family. A lot has changed: The Soho Syndicate has been born, a rag tag band of opportunists lead by his older brother Salem, who has succeeded leadership from their ruthless father, and taken it to new heights of organised crime and perverse vigalantism.

 Aaron is thrown headlong into a world of violence, chaos and betrayal, and must fight to keep his sanity intact. As well as the lives of those around him and to keep his ever slipping grip on the life he knew before.

The events of the novel will charter Aaron's journey into the nightmarish underworld of a city tearing itself apart with gang violence, corruption and international espionage.

Eleanor Montgomery has always known what she wants-success, independence, and a future free of distractions. Fierce, determined, and a straight-A student, she keeps her head down and her heart locked away, refusing to entertain the idea of relationships. Love, in her eyes, is nothing but an unnecessary complication. But Daniel Monteiro sees her differently. The heir to one of Italy's most feared mafia families, he's used to getting everything he desires. Women throw themselves at him, craving his attention, but the only one who holds his interest is Eleanor-the girl who refuses to acknowledge his existence. It's not just her beauty that captivates him, but her unwavering focus, her unshakable confidence, and the way she remains unaffected by his presence. Daniel is not the kind of man who gives up easily. He's patient, cunning, and knows exactly how to get what he wants. And what he wants is Eleanor. At first, she resists him, unwilling to let him disrupt the life she's built. But Daniel doesn't just pursue-he infiltrates. He appears where she least expects, forces her to acknowledge the chemistry crackling between them, and slowly breaks down the walls she's so carefully constructed. The more she fights him, the harder she falls. He's everything she shouldn't want-dangerous, possessive, and from a world she has no business being a part of. But desire doesn't follow logic, and the closer she gets, the more she realizes that resisting him might be the biggest challenge of her life. Will Eleanor surrender to the fire between them, or will she risk losing the only man who's ever truly seen her? And when the dark reality of his world threatens to pull them apart, will their love be strong enough to survive?
