UNDERNEATH THE MIDNIGHT SKY

Prologue

In the depths of the city's underworld, where loyalty is currency and love is a weakness, Asher Volkov was untouchable. A mafia heir whose reputation was as cold and ruthless as the streets he ruled. He had everything: power, wealth, and a network of enemies who feared him more than they respected him. Yet, in the quiet corners of his mind, amidst the darkness of his world, there was one thing he never expected to want-her.

Sera Marlowe.

A woman whose innocence had no place in his life. She was a diamond in a world of coal-unscathed, untouched, and far too pure for someone like him. But fate, in all its twisted irony, had brought her into his orbit. And now, she was his obsession.

It was never meant to happen. He had never meant to fall for her. But then again, the heart doesn't always listen to reason.
