He's a cold, ruthless crime boss.

She's the woman who sees the broken boy he used to be.

Dante Cross is feared by everyone who knows his name. A legend in the underworld. Untouchable. Unapologetic. Unforgiving.

Until he meets her.

Imani Blake is a trauma therapist with a guarded heart and no time for monsters in tailored suits. But when Dante steps into her office-demanding help, hiding pain behind a brutal smile-she sees something no one else can.

A soul fractured by secrets.

A man addicted to control.

And a dangerous temptation she can't resist.

What begins as a professional arrangement spirals into something darker, deeper.

Obsession. Possession. Redemption.

But loving Dante Cross means walking the edge between salvation and destruction.

Because the closer she gets to his heart...

The more he'll make her bleed to keep it.
