Lord of Pain

Aleksander Vitale was never meant to feel anything.

He was raised in power, shaped by blood, and feared long before he ever stepped into New York City. Cold, ruthless, and dangerously unpredictable, he's the kind of man people whisper about-never to his face. As the heir to a powerful mafia empire, Aleksander doesn't believe in love, trust, or second chances.

Until one night at a high-profile gathering hosted by The Lords-where enemies smile like allies and loyalty is just another lie he meets the one person he should stay far away from.

Asher Anderson.

The golden boy. A pilot with a soft smile, warm eyes, and a reputation for being everything good in a world that's anything but. People trust him. Admire him. Protect him.

But Aleksander?

He sees right through him.
Because Asher isn't just anyone.
He's the younger brother of Aleksander's greatest enemy.
