He don't talk much.
He don't smile either.
But when Dre "Ghost" Carter sees Jade for the first time, words ain't even necessary - the look in his eyes says it all: she's his.
Dre runs the streets in silence - no noise, no witnesses, no mercy. The kind of man people whisper about but never dare to cross. Jade? She's not from that world. She's quiet, funny, the type who minds her business and stays out the way. Until her best friend drags her to a party that changes everything.
One stare across that smoky room, and the most dangerous man in the city decides she belongs to him.
Jade swears she's not the "ride or die" type... but Dre's pull feels different. Possessive. Addictive. The kind of love that burns slow - and might just destroy them both.
Because in his world, silence can kill... and love can too.

Desperate to survive without exposing her past, Davina takes a job as a bartender at La Rosa Nera-the most exclusive strip club on the Strip. What she doesn't know is that the club is owned by Lucian Accardi, a man far more dangerous than the one she fled. Lucian rules the Las Vegas underworld with silence and blood. He watches everything. Misses nothing. And the moment Davina walks through his doors, he wants her. Soft-spoken. Bruised. Hiding something. Lucian sees it all. And worse-he decides she's his. But claiming her comes with a price. Davina's brother is the detective hunting Lucian's empire from the inside. Her past is a powder keg waiting to ignite. And Lucian? He doesn't do love. He does possession. Twisted loyalty. Forbidden attraction. Power. Control. In this world, survival means surrender.
