"They told me my parents' death was an accident. I know it was murder. Now I'm coming for the man who did it-even if he makes my heartbeat race."
Eldrath's glittering skyline hides a war.
Maliah Anderson's parents didn't die in an accident. They were murdered. And when the police refuse to listen, she'll tear apart the city's underworld to prove it-starting with Kian Sullivan, the ruthless mafia prince whose name is scrawled across every clue.
Alastor Mitchell offers an alliance. Charming, wounded, and hungry for vengeance against Kian, he's the perfect weapon. But his touch ignites a fire that terrifies her almost as much as Kian's midnight eyes and razor-sharp smile.
As Maliah infiltrates Kian's empire, the lines blur between:
✔ Justice and obsession
✔ Truth and manipulation
✔ The killer and the man who makes her pulse race
The deeper she falls, the darker the truth becomes.
