Dominant by Nature

**DOMINANT BY NATURE**

Dakota Reign was born into blood, power, and violence.

As the daughter of one of the most feared mafia bosses in the country, she never had the luxury of being innocent. When tragedy struck and her father and older brother were taken from her, Dakota inherited an empire built on fear. The streets called her ruthless. Her enemies called her a monster. The people closest to her knew the truth.

Dakota Reign was a psychopath molded by trauma.

Every scar she carried became another brick in the wall around her heart. Love was weakness. Trust was a liability. Attachments got people killed.

That's why she preferred one-night stands.

No names.
No feelings.
No complications.

Then there was Marley Heights.

The forgotten daughter.

At least that's how she felt.

Despite having a family that loved her deeply, Marley spent years believing she never truly belonged. Tired of feeling invisible, she packed her bags and moved to Miami in search of freedom, adventure, and herself.

What Marley didn't know was that her family had been hiding a secret from her her entire life.

A secret powerful enough to change everything she thought she knew.

Dakota and Marley come from two completely different worlds.

One built on darkness.

The other searching for light.

But fate has never cared about timing.

When a chance encounter turns into an obsession neither woman expected, hidden truths begin to surface, loyalties are tested, and dangerous enemies close in from every direction.

Dakota has spent her entire life controlling everyone around her.

Marley might be the first person she can't control.

And Marley is about to discover that the woman she's falling for is far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

The question isn't whether they'll survive each other.

It's whether they'll survive the truth.

Because when secrets buried for decades finally come to light...

Dakota Reign and Marley Heights will have to decide if love is worth going to war for.
