Amelia King's life as the daughter of the formidable leader of the King crime family is one of luxury and constraint. But 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲, something wildly her own. On a night filled with reckless abandon, she finds herself in the arms of a stranger, a man whose smoldering gaze and touch ignite a fire within her.

This stranger, she later discovers, is Alexei Ivanov, the heir to a rival crime family and the very embodiment of forbidden desire. What begins as a chance encounter soon spirals into a passionate and clandestine affair. Amelia and Alexei are irresistibly drawn to each other, their connection defying the deeply ingrained hatred between their families.
