Falling For The Enemy I Swore To Kill

X'zyiah grew up watching her brother Taylor build their mafia empire from nothing-brick by bloody brick. She saw every sacrifice, every betrayal, every body that paved the way to power. And because of that, loyalty to Taylor has always been her religion.
So when Taylor discovers the woman he loved-the one person he believed would never cross him-has been secretly working for his greatest rival, Kentrell "AJax" Blackwell, something in him snaps. Betrayal is unforgivable. Someone has to pay.
And Taylor already knows who he's sending to collect that debt.
X'zyiah.
Her mission is simple: infiltrate the rival syndicate, get close to AJax, and dismantle him from the inside. She's spent years in her brother's shadow, watching him rule; now she finally steps into the line of fire to protect everything they've built.
But nothing about AJax is what she expected.
He's ruthless, yes-dangerous, always-but beneath the menace is a man far more calculated, far more magnetic than the monster she was taught to hate. And the more time she spends in his world, the more she feels herself slipping... not in fear, but in fascination.
Loyalty begins to fracture.
Duty blurs into desire.
And X'zyiah is caught between the empire she helped witness rise and the man she was sent to destroy.
Then one night, AJax corners her, his voice low, eyes sharp enough to cut her open:
"Tell me, X'zyiah... who are you really?"
Her heart stops-because if he finds out the truth, the mission won't be the only thing that dies.
She might.
And worse...
so might he.
