As the sister of the most feared man in the city, Valentina De Luca knows exactly what her family’s empire is built on: blood, power, violence. She's spent her life vowing to stay away from its dark underbelly—and everything that comes with it. Until she meets Sunshine. A dancer with a smile that cuts sharper than any blade. And what begins as a spontaneous moment in the Velvet Room, the De Luca’s exclusive erotic club, becomes so much more. Something Valentina has no intention of walking away from. As Valentina is pulled back into the violent underworld she swore off, she’s forced to fight for what’s rightfully hers. And for the first time, she understands exactly what could drive a person to kill…

Aisling Donegan has been waiting for her chance to destroy the person responsible for her father’s murder. She's determined to uncover the truth but instead of finding answers, she finds herself at the mercy of Zane De Luca. Feared by criminals. Ruthless without remorse. Beautiful enough to tempt the devil himself. But Zane doesn't kill her. He offers her something far more dangerous—a chance to find out what really happened. As old betrayals unravel, Aisling is forced into an uneasy alliance with the one man she should stay away from. Every step pulls them deeper into a world of merciless power where enemies wear familiar faces, betrayal is behind every door and desire could be their greatest weakness. Because falling for the man that may have killed her father was never part of the plan. But in a city built on violence and vengeance... The only person capable of saving her may be the one she’s destined to destroy.
