"You shouldn't be talking to me," he said quietly, swirling the drink in his glass.
"And why is that?" she asked, leaning against the bar
"Because men like me don't bring good things into people's lives."
She tilted her head, studying him. "You assume I'm looking for good things."
A faint smile appeared on his lips. "Then what are you looking for?"
She met his eyes without hesitation. "Something real... even if it's dangerous."
In the heart of a ruthless criminal empire, a powerful mafia leader - Adrian DeLuca - lives by one rule-never trust anyone.
But one unexpected night at a crowded club changes everything when he meets a woman who refuses to fear him. What begins as a reckless attraction slowly turns into something deeper, despite the dangers surrounding his world.
As rivals rise and violence grows closer to home, Elena becomes part of his life in ways no one expected. While those around him question her presence, he chooses love over suspicion.
But in a world built on secrets, loyalty and trust can become the most dangerous gambles of all.

── .✦ ˙ Money was the only thing keeping Jeon Jungkook moving forward. At twenty-eight, he juggled countless part-time jobs, legal and illegal alike, to keep up with his younger brother's education fees. Life had taught him that kindness didn't pay debts, but his fists often did. A skilled fighter with nothing left to lose, Jungkook survived one day at a time without expecting his future to change. Park Jimin was a different story. At thirty years old, he was the first omega born into the powerful Park mafia lineage, a position that painted a target on his back from the moment he took power. After the death of his loyal bodyguard, threats against him only grew bolder. When a brutal attack leaves him cornered in the middle of a street, an unexpected stranger steps in and saves his life. Jungkook never expected that single act to land him in a hospital bed with a wound on his abdomen and one of the most feared mafia bosses standing over him. But Jimin has an offer he can't ignore: more money than Jungkook has ever seen in exchange for becoming his personal bodyguard. It should have been a simple business deal. Protect the mafia boss. Get paid. Walk away. Except nothing is ever simple when enemies lurk in every shadow, secrets hide behind every smile, and the dangerous Park Jimin proves to be far more than the ruthless omega the world believes him to be.
