Apricity

APRICITY

They lived in a permanent winter. She was the sun that broke through the ice-and the fire that burned them to the ground.

Commander Lorenzo "Enzo" Jean Beaumont lives in a world of cold discipline. As the youngest head of Interpol's Counter-Terrorism department, his life is a rigid calculation of duty, royal bloodlines, and the grim reality of warfare.

Valentiño "Vance" Romano De La Vega lives in a world of cold ruthlessness. As the underboss of the most infamous multi-billion-pound European syndicate, his heart froze over the day an Interpol ambush took his mother away in the dark streets of London.

Both men are trapped in their own unyielding winters.

Until Dr. Janelle "Jenny" Reyes cuts through the ice.

An intern ER trauma fellow with a ballerina's grace and a fierce, unshakable empathy, Jenny is a burst of warmth in a sterile world. She is innocent, soft-spoken, and entirely unaware of the heat she carries.

One morning, Jenny's life turned upside down, when a bloody syndicate ambush forces a critically wounded Vance into her trauma bay, Jenny commands the room with a fearlessness that leaves the ruthless mafioso completely obsessed.

But when Enzo's investigation into the shooting brings him face-to-face with the petite doctor, her soft, fearless persona shatters the strict commander's defenses, making him swoon over her.

For two lethal men who have only ever known the freezing dark, Jenny becomes their apricity -the rare, intoxicating warmth of the sun in the dead of winter.

But a sun cannot be divided. As Vance's dark, possessive dominance clashes with Enzo's rigid, protective authority, their desperate hunger to possess the light triggers a catastrophic war. Trapped in a suffocating tug-of-war between the lawbreaker and the lawman, Jenny's warmth becomes the very thing that threatens to consume them all. Because in a world of artillery and absolute obsession, keeping the sun to yourself means burning everything.
