In the shadowy world of the Hearts of Stone Syndicate, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is fatal, two fiery souls collide.
Shelby Boyle, the fearless ex-Marine turned mafia enforcer, thrives on the adrenaline of his dangerous life. But as blood feuds tear the Syndicate apart, he begins to question if the cost of loyalty is too high. Enter Serena DiLorenzo, the stunningly fierce daughter of the Italian mafia boss. Determined to break free from her father's iron grip, Serena has been secretly plotting her own rise to power. When a brutal conflict pits their families against each other, Shelby and Serena are forced into an uneasy alliance to broker peace—or risk annihilation.
Passions ignite as Shelby and Serena find themselves drawn to each other, their chemistry undeniable and their secrets deadly. But the re-emergence of Dracul, the shadowy puppet master threatening the Syndicate's very existence, forces them to confront a greater enemy. As their families' empires crumble under Dracul's assault, Shelby and Serena must set aside their differences to save everything they hold dear—even if it means risking their own hearts in the process.
As danger closes in, they'll not only rebuild what's been lost but forge a new legacy of power and passion that could rival even the darkest hearts.
