Mona O’Haire I don't want to get married, but it's not like anyone has asked my opinion on it. I'm just an ornament for a powerful mob boss, nothing more. But I grab one night of freedom before my doom, and that night is the best of my life. It's where I meet him. And our first meeting is one I'll never forget. Matteo Cattaneo A woman walks into a bar—that's the start of a joke for some; it was the start of a new life for me. This woman is mine. I know it in my bones, and I show her just how serious I am about my claim. But then she disappears. I scour the city to find her, only to happen upon her at her engagement party. Too bad for her would-be groom, she belongs to me now and forever.

Nikolai Cattaneo Riley hates me. She has plenty of reasons. But that doesn’t stop me from following her every move. She’s part of my family now, an addition I never saw coming. Having her this close is more than I can stand. I don’t care if she hates me, I want her, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get her. Riley O’Haire Nikolai hates me. He thinks I snitched on him. Of course he’s wrong, but I’m not going to waste my time telling him the truth. Not when he stalks my steps and even enrolls in my school to keep an eye on me. It doesn’t matter that I’m attracted to him, that I find myself thinking about him far too much. We can’t be anything to each other, not with our past, not even if I want it.

One look at her was all it took. Now I'll stop at nothing to keep her, even if it means burning the rest of this city to the ground. Angel My senator father might appear perfect to the rest of the world, but I know he's a terrible man. I just had no idea my twin brother was worse. When a scarred, huge man came storming into my house and claiming I was in danger, I was sure he was one of my father's men sent to protect me. I never would have imagined I was being kidnapped by a man planning to keep me for his own. Church The world is full of cold and cruel people, and they say I'm the cruelest of them all. It wasn't by chance that I earned my nickname. It's well known that I'm the last stop for the most vile men before I send them to meet their maker. Most beg and plead, but I don't do emotions. Their confessions fall on deaf ears. Until her. The moment I laid eyes on her, I knew I had to have her. An angel who is the complete opposite of me. There was nothing cold about her. She is sweetness and sunshine, and I want her all for myself. Except there's one problem; I'm not the only one who does.
