In the heart of a sprawling metropolis, Isadora "Izzy" Moretti, a brilliant and cunning woman in her late twenties, runs her father's criminal empire with an iron fist. Her world of organized crime is one of power, danger, and loyalty.
However, the balance is disrupted when a new player emerges: Vincent, an enigmatic and honorable heir to a rival mafia family. Despite the violence he was raised in, Vincent longs to thrive in his family's bloody legacy.
Their paths cross once again during a mysterious masquerade ball hosted by a figure known as "The Phantom," the puppet master behind criminal operations throughout the city. At the ball, The Phantom announces a deadly game-a masquerade duel, where the last masked participant standing claims significant territory.
Drawn to each other despite their rivalry, they form an alliance to uncover The Phantom's identity. As their feelings deepen, they must choose between loyalty to their families or following their hearts in a gripping tale of passion, power, and sacrifice in the treacherous world of organized crime.

"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
