Marco Power is everything. And in my world, power is built on blood. I rule this city with a ruthless grip, feared by my enemies and respected by those smart enough to stay in line. But when Sasha Gillespie walks back into my life, desperate and reckless, she shatters my control. She’s asking for my help—dragging me into a war I didn’t start, but it’s one I damn sure intend to finish. The men who dared threaten her family don’t realize they’ve just signed their death warrants. She thinks she can make a deal with the devil and walk away unscathed. She’s wrong. Because once I claim something, I don’t let it go. And Sasha? She was mine long before she even knew it. Sasha Marco Walsh is the last man I should run to for help. Dangerous. Unrelenting. A king carved from blood and brutality. He’s everything I was warned to stay away from—everything I swore I’d never be a part of. But when my father’s debts come due, and my little sister’s life is on the line, I don’t have a choice. Now, I’m trapped in his world, where mercy is a weakness and love is a liability. He says he’ll protect me, but the price is steep. A single favor, a night on his arm…a deal I can’t refuse. I should be terrified. But the most dangerous part of all? I’m not sure I want to escape.
