In the midst of the 1920's, well-known businessman Benjamin Trodden finds himself in a predicament.
His business partner is dying, his brother is chasing a married woman, and a new cop in town is hot on the trail of his more... illegal business investments.
With a business to save and a reputation at stake, Ben has to do the impossible and create a cover story so air tight, even the brightest officers couldn't see through it. He can't do it alone, but, with a little help from a sharp-tongued flapper, a dying ballet dancer, and an indecisive boxer, he has the chance to not only save his own skin...but everyone else's too.

In the Arms of Danger
"Who are you?" I asked, still left in the shock and scared state that came over me when gunshots were heard. I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us. "Who I am is none of your business," he said in a cold, husky voice that somehow caused me to shiver. A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me. His face slowly being exposed to the light, giving me a glimpse of his icy grey eyes. "let's go" he spoke again before turning around. I hesitated a bit before turning around and for some reason followed behind him. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── Ariana is a 26-year-old young lady, employed at a famous bar in New York City.

Empire of Shadows (Book 1)
Y/N, a young and talented artist, lives a life of vivid colors and quiet solitude, her days spent lost in canvases and her nights dreaming of a world beyond her own. When she's approached by a wealthy businessman, Simon Riley, who offers to commission her work, she thinks it's a chance to push her art to new heights. Simon is charming yet mysterious, and while his generous patronage seems like a dream, his enigmatic aura feels like a storm looming on the horizon. But Simon "Ghost" Riley is no mere businessman. Behind his tailored suits and polite demeanor lies one of the most powerful mafia bosses in the city, ruling an empire built on secrecy, fear, and shadows. For years, he's kept his personal life and his underworld reign separate, trusting no one and needing no one. But meeting Y/N stirs something he thought long buried-feelings that could make him vulnerable in a world where weakness is fatal. As Y/N delves deeper into her work for Simon, she begins to notice the cracks in his facade-the lingering looks, the hushed conversations, the shadows that follow him. Curiosity leads her to uncover the truth, placing her directly in the crossfire of his deadly world. Soon, she finds herself faced with an impossible choice: leave behind the life and love she's found with him or stay, risking everything for a man whose empire may crumble if his enemies discover the one person he truly cares for. *In a world where trust is scarce and love is a dangerous game, will Y/N and Simon's connection be their salvation or their undoing?*Lengkap
