When Raven Arianna Murray disappears at age sixteen after a traitor causes the deaths of her family, her only surviving brother Hawk Daniel Murray and his best friend Damon Rafael Marino swear they'll never stop looking for her. As the heads of two of the most powerful crime families in LA, there's nothing they can't do, no stone they could leave unturned. But after ten long years and not a peep from the missing Murray heiress, Damon begins to lose hope. Hope that his once betrothed ever made it out of that house alive.
Ari Clark has come to LA for one thing. Revenge. Revenge against the ones that took everything from her. After ten years under her only uncle's tutelage, she's turned her body and mind into the perfect weapon and is ready to wreak havoc on the various gang bosses infesting her once beautiful city. She knows this road could lead to her death, but until her family can rest in peace, she'll stop at nothing to assure that the ones responsible are six feet under.
They say when seeking revenge, one should dig two graves. Ari will dig as many as she needs to ensure her family's peace.

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.

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.
