In a world of shadows, contracts are currency, and love is a liability.
Morana Valencia, codename Khalessi, is an elite assassin raised by a brutal underground syndicate after being plucked from the slums of Budapest. She's cold, calculated, and utterly lethal. Every kill is clean. Every mission flawless. But under the control and precision lies a hunger for something more-something messy, unpredictable...
Kieran Deimos-known only as Shadow-is her mirror in every way: deadly, disciplined, and bound by loyalty to a rival organization. When a high-profile hit places them both on a collision course, the game shifts. The target becomes irrelevant. The real threat is each other.
Caught in a web of blood-soaked contracts, old grudges, and buried truths, Morana and Kieran must decide if they're going to destroy one another... or burn the world down together.
But in this business, attachments are fatal. And hearts-if they still exist-are just collateral damage.

Crimson Vows
Khaleesi Romanov was born in the shadows - heir to a dynasty of blood, bullets, and betrayal. With emerald eyes that see through lies and a blade for every occasion, she's an assassin, a mafia princess, and a woman with one goal: revenge. After years in exile, Khaleesi returns to a city drenched in secrets and smoke. Her family is gone, wiped out in a single night. At the heart of it all? The Vinci syndicate - led by the infamous twins who now rule the underworld. Hunter Vinci is all cold control - midnight suits, sharper words, and eyes the color of broken trust. As Don of the Italian mafia, he's the face of the empire and a master of power games. He doesn't fear Khaleesi. He wants her - but on his terms. Malachi Vinci is chaos wrapped in velvet. One eye ice-blue, the other storm-grey, he's a knife with a smile and a mind no one can predict. As the family's enforcer, he doesn't play by the rules. Especially not when it comes to the woman who should be dead - but isn't. They should have killed each other. Instead, they're drawn together by secrets darker than vengeance and lust sharper than blades. As Khaleesi infiltrates the Vinci empire to destroy it from the inside, she finds herself locked in a deadly triangle - one brother who wants to own her, one who wants to unravel her, and a past that refuses to stay buried. But Khaleesi didn't come to kneel. She came to reign. Three broken hearts. One bloodstained empire. And a vow that none of them may survive.Complete

Elara Vance (22) exchanged one prison for another. After years of quiet endurance, the desperate night she fought back and killed her abusive father landed her in Blackwell Penitentiary. Out of place, fragile, and marked by trauma, she craves the anonymity of the stone walls-but anonymity is a luxury Blackwell doesn't afford. The man who truly runs this world of steel and concrete is Asher 'Reyes' Thorne (27). He's an incarcerated crime lord, a kingpin serving multiple life sentences for calculated murders, whose influence flows like a cold current through every cell block. When Asher sees Elara-the quiet, defiant woman with fire in her eyes, jailed for justifiable violence-he doesn't see a victim; he sees a kindred spirit he intends to own. Their relationship begins as a terrifying contract: Asher offers her absolute protection from the brutality of the guards and the cruelty of the inmates. In return, she owes him only her attention. But in the confined, suffocating space of Blackwell, proximity is poison. Their tense, transactional meetings-whispered words across the common room, charged silence in the visiting booths-quickly ignite into a desperate, forbidden need. Elara begins to chip away at the monster, discovering the strategic intelligence and fierce loyalty beneath the calculated darkness. Asher, in turn, finds his iron control shattered by the fragile defiance of the one person he can't truly cage. Shadowbound Hearts is the story of two souls defined by violence, finding dangerous comfort in the one place they are most exposed. In a place where freedom is impossible, they must decide if their forbidden love is the ultimate act of rebellion, or the final, irreversible surrender to the shadows.
