Lucas is more than just charming-he's dangerously psychotic, hiding his true nature behind a flawless exterior. After a tragic accident takes his family, he's adopted and moves to Crestwood, where his dark side slowly begins to surface. Murder becomes more than a thrill-it's an addiction, and no one is safe from his growing list of victims.
Dimitri, a quiet yet ambitious teenager, crosses paths with Lucas and quickly becomes his target. Relentlessly bullied, Dimitri is both terrified and obsessed with Lucas's cruelty. Eventually, he leaves Crestwood, scarred but determined to escape Lucas's control. For years, they remain separated, living in completely different worlds.
But Dimitri is no longer the vulnerable boy Lucas once tormented. He returns years later as a powerful figure in the mafia underworld, having built a formidable empire. No longer the victim, Dimitri is now a force to be reckoned with, wielding influence and power that rivals Lucas's growing darkness.
As their paths collide once again, their rivalry reignites. Lucas has fully embraced his psychotic tendencies, and Dimitri's rise to power in the criminal media world makes him a dangerous opponent. Now, it's a high-stakes game of control and manipulation, with both men more dangerous than ever. Underestimating them-together or apart-could be a fatal mistake.

A preview: "He started walking back towards me and I stood in my doorway frozen looking at him weirdly, he then held my head in his hands and pulled me in and crashed his lips onto mine. A part of me wanted to push me him off but another part wanted all of him, I knew I wanted him even more than I did before. The touch of his lips were soft and the feeling of his hands round my waist was addictive, was a feeling I wanted to feel for the rest of my life. He caressed my hair and stroked my curls as his tongue intertwined with mine, I wanted more. "
