Be weary on this dark fantasy following a decayed world with an even more decayed soul of Leo Carmine, a vampire aimlessly wandering the collapsed society. Until he had seen the light.

Now in search of what he calls the light, a secret he holds deep to himself comes along with rules that makes survival even tougher, even amongst his kind. More so that the die-hard journalist Ella Langley uses her unique jurisdiction with her father and the Renders, a underground vampire mob to discover who caused the war and discover vampire culture.

Forced to tag along with Leo and under his protection from debts needing paid, their dynamics are intertwined in a cut-throat world as they both search for answers in this destroyed economy. Sending them down a road that makes them discover they need each other more than ever, regardless of how pissed they make each other.

Full of blood, mystery, sex and gore, it follows the animal instincts that we all possess, the desires for more versus moral empathy. Where there's death at every corner, from the sun for vampires or human hunters. Or for humans the blood-thirsty nature of vampires needing to feed. 
     Follow these two to the depths of this underworld hell until they have found the light. The one thing believed to save ones very soul.

+++✦+++ His hand gripped my neck-not tight enough to choke but enough to make his point. His other hand pressed against the fridge just above my shoulder, trapping me. My mouth parted in shock, my eyes locking with his. The sly smirk curving his lips sent a shiver down my spine. "Don't toy with me, kitten," He murmured, the nickname laced with sarcasm. "Kitten...funny, isn't it? Something so small and harmless, yet trying to claw its way out of trouble." His smirk widened. "But if I find out you're lying..." He leaned in, his voice a low, dangerous whisper near my ear, "...well, let's just say tearing you to pieces won't be off the table." "And if you think about skipping town before I'm fully recovered..." His grip tightened slightly, as he looked me deep in the eyes. "I'll find you, no matter where you go." He tilted his head, his calm delivery making the threat all the more unsettling. "Do you understand me?" His words weren't loud, but they didn't need to be. His gaze bore into mine, daring me to defy him. "Yes." I swallowed hard, nodding slightly, my voice betraying me with its lack of strength. "Good girl." He watched me with a pleased, almost smug expression. He loosened his grip, but he didn't move away. +++✦+++ In a city plagued by crime and violence, a young woman fights to stay hidden from her sadistic stepfather and his ruthless gang. In her journey to uncover the truth about her forgotten past, she crosses paths with a dangerous and mysterious stranger in the most unexpected manner.

"I hated being called his Rosa. Every man that had me for a night was sure to remind me that I wasn't human anymore. I wasn't a person anymore. I mean how could I be?

"It's either that or they take your soul anyway along with your virginity, happiness, innocence, and everything that made you, you. They strip you until you're nothing but just a body to use." Iris words fill the room as she makes her way on the other side of Jade. "They break you." A girl with brown hair says softly and put eyes snap to her.

When Ivy Lancaster, a young and successful publisher, saves a family farm in an old rundown town, her life is flipped on its axis. Her charity puts her on the radar of the man who runs all of Sin Sity. His gang has had the city on lockdown for years, and he's at the heart of it all. And now, she's been pulled into this life too. One she never expected. The one she'd only read about in books. Alongside him and his bestfriend, she'll have to learn how to survive this new life she's been pulled into. Or go back to the mundane, calm life at her desk. And she's not sure which is worse. **** I know I shouldn't. I know I should be disgusted by the thought of his hands on me. He is a killer. He's psychotic. He's forcing me to be here. And yet, I can't make myself pull away. I can't tell him to stop. Sin's fingers dip lower, playing with the lace barely covering my skin. I throw my head back against his chest, his gun still digging into my back. My eyes catching Arrows again. He hasn't moved. But his fists clench at his sides. And I wonder what it would feel like to have him pressed against my front with Sin at my back. God, what the fuck, Ivy? Why am I letting this happen? "I know you're wet for me, baby girl." Sin murmurs into my ear. "Wet for us." 'Fuck, I'm screwed' I think as Sin's fingers slip under my panties.
