The Series
Orion, Logan, and Kai — three powerful mafia heads — rule a dangerous empire built on violence, loyalty, and blood-soaked power. In their world, mercy is weakness and betrayal is buried beneath bodies.
Then Maisy enters their world.
A woman carrying darkness they recognise. A temptation they should destroy. A weakness none of them saw coming. Orion should have ended her life before she became a problem. Logan knows protecting her could destroy everything they’ve built. And Kai — a man who breaks rules without remorse — finds himself willing to follow hers.
The deeper Maisy is dragged into their world of mafia power, dangerous loyalty, and forbidden desire, the harder escape becomes. Because some enemies are too addictive to kill. And some obsessions? They ruin everything.
The Characters
Maisy
I should’ve run away to freedom. Not to his house. But a promise is a promise, even if it kills me. And it will, soon. The men who found me, three ruthless mafia heads, upended my life, ripped me open, and broke me down.
Apparently, that wasn’t enough. Now, they’re going to kill me.
Orion
The moment I open the door, ready to rain hell on whoever’s there, I find myself blindly pointing my gun at… her. I shouldn’t have taken her in. I should’ve killed her there and then. But the darkness inside her looked familiar.
Fool. That’s what I am.
Logan
She was an anomaly we should’ve killed. Not fucked. But my cock developed a mind of its own after tasting her silken heat. I was a goner, and even though I knew I had to end her life, I promised her protection.
I still wonder what she’s done to me.
Kai
As a mafia head, I can break as many rules as I want, and torture or even kill whoever’s in my way. That is, until I met her. My baby girl.
I soon learned there are rules I’m willing to follow: hers.
