Neon Sins

Behind neon lights and champagne towers lies a hidden empire of private clubs, illegal casinos, blackmail, and mafia money. At the center of it all stands Velvet House - the city's most exclusive underground club owned by the feared De Luca crime family.

After his older brother vanishes owing millions to dangerous people, Kai Arden has only one option left: become him.

Using Adrian Arden's identity, Kai enters Velvet House undercover to uncover the truth behind his brother's disappearance and repay a debt that could get him killed.

His plan is simple: find answers, survive the mafia, and never get emotionally involved.
Then he meets Nikolai De Luca.

The youngest De Luca heir is cold, violent, and dangerously beautiful - a man raised in a world where weakness gets destroyed. Nikolai has never wanted another man before.
Until Adrian.

What begins as curiosity quickly turns into obsession.

Because Adrian doesn't behave like the others in Velvet House. He fights back. Challenges him. Looks at Nikolai without fear.

And the more Nikolai tries to control the attraction consuming him, the worse it becomes.

Soon he can't stop: watching Adrian through security cameras, getting jealous when clients touch him, starting fights over him, or imagining things he absolutely should not want.

Meanwhile Kai is drowning in lies.
The deeper he investigates Velvet House, the more horrifying the truth becomes: boys are disappearing, secrets are being sold, and someone inside the De Luca empire knows exactly what happened to Adrian.

The worst part?

It might be Nikolai.
