Dominic Delvecchio is a shadow in a tailored suit-a ruthless Made Man whose icy demeanor and calculating mind make him a legend in the Mafia. He killed his own parents to seize control of his father's empire, and since then, he's become a ghost, ruling with a silent authority that commands fear and respect. Haunted by his past, he reveals nothing, embodying the cold, hard truth of the criminal underworld.
In stark contrast, Charlotte Brooks is a free spirit, drifting from job to job with a fiery determination that keeps her afloat. A future bartender at one of Dominic's clubs, she thrives on human connection and believes in the goodness of people, even when faced with the underbelly of society. Charlotte is spontaneous, full of life, and unafraid to take risks-qualities that make her both vibrant and naïve to the dangerous world she unwittingly steps into.
Charlotte's new job at Dominic's club opens the door to a world she knows nothing about. Drawn to his enigmatic presence, she's oblivious to the power he wields and the darkness he harbors. Dominic, intrigued by her innocence and light, sees her as a fleeting distraction from the weight of his empire. As Charlotte navigates her new reality, she unwittingly stumbles into a dangerous game of power and desire. Can she break through Dominic's defenses and uncover the truth about the man who rules her world, or will the shadows of his past pull her in, forever altering her fate? Their story unfolds in a thrilling dance of opposites, where love and loyalty clash against the backdrop of a treacherous underworld.
