She grew up with lies.
He grew up with violence.
They had no childhood, only scars.
Alys thought she'd escaped hell-a murdered father, a broken mother, a life built on fear. Today, she tries to remain invisible, to forget.
When she crosses paths with Hunter, he's a man broken by a tragic past. The son of a mafia family, he witnessed his father murdered before his eyes when he was only 15. Since that day, he's hunted down those responsible, one by one. He's relentless, cold, and terrifying, but deep down, he's filled with an immense emptiness. When he crosses paths with Alys, a woman who seems somehow connected to those he's hunting, he finds himself trapped. His mission of revenge turns into an inner struggle, between anger and the attraction he feels for her.
Between secrets, violence, and broken loyalties, their attraction becomes a toxic obsession. An impossible bond between two survivors of a ruined empire.
And in the mafia, love isn't a weakness... it's a debt to be paid.
