The underworld calls him Naked Bullet.
His name is Rex. The bastard my father adopted, raised, and trained into the most dangerous assassin in the city. The man my father trusts with everything he would never entrust to his own son.
I'm Soren, heir to the most powerful mafia empire in the city. The throne is mine by blood, and I'll be damned if I let an outsider take what belongs to me.
Then my father is murdered the same week he names Rex my right-hand man.
Now the empire is mine to hold, our enemies are closing in, and the only man capable of keeping me alive is the very man I suspect of pulling the trigger. I'll work beside him. Watch his every move. And the moment I find proof, I'll put a bullet in his head.
But hatred was easier before I started noticing his hands. Before his touch became something I craved. Before I realized that the only man who could make me feel powerless was the one I wanted on his knees.
But Rex isn't a man anyone can own. He's hiding a past soaked in blood and secrets, and the truth about why my father took him in could shatter everything I believe about my family.
In my world, betrayal is paid for in blood.
And falling for the devil my father raised as my brother might cost me the empire, my life, and the one thing I never thought I'd want to surrender: control.
