Collateral Blood

In the heart of a ruthless criminal empire, where danger lurks behind every corner, Lucas Montgomery reigns as the feared leader of the Black Vipers. His world of crime is a tightly guarded secret from his only daughter, Sloan, a hopeful fashion designer with dreams far removed from the shadows of her father's life.

Sloan's world is upended when she is abducted from her family home by a gang led by the enigmatic and dangerous Harry Styles. As a pawn in a high-stakes conflict between rival gangs, Sloan finds herself in the clutches of a man who is both her captor and a mystery she cannot escape. Harry is a violent enforcer with a ruthless reputation, but beneath the surface of his fearsome persona lies a complex man torn between duty and a deep, unspoken conflict.

As Sloan navigates the treacherous confines of her captivity, she begins to see a different side of Harry-one that reveals glimpses of a troubled soul and a heart capable of unexpected tenderness. Despite the dangerous world surrounding them, a forbidden connection begins to form. Their interactions, initially fraught with tension and mistrust, slowly transform into something profoundly emotional and intricate.

Caught between her father's dangerous empire and Harry's shifting loyalties, Sloan must grapple with her feelings and the perilous circumstances that brought them together. Their growing bond is hidden in the shadows of violence and betrayal, a love story masked by the brutal reality of the criminal underworld.
