My name is Alek. They call me the boss, and for damn good reason. I rule over this city with an iron fist, and my crew fears and respects me in equal measure. I walk into a room, and the air shifts. I've lived a life drenched in power, money, and respect. But even in my world of darkness and danger, nothing could have prepared me for the hurricane that was about to sweep into my life—Grace Morgan.

She had a spirit that couldn't be tamed, a stubbornness that refused to bow down to my authority. It intrigued me, captivated me, and I knew right then and there that she would be mine, body and soul.

I want to see that innocence shattered, to watch as she succumbs to me, to bring out her hidden desires and make her crave the darkness as much as I do.

Love and danger, they say, make for a lethal combination.
