In the ruthless underworld where empires are built on blood and betrayal, Cove Voss is king. Cold. Calculating. Untouchable. When his enemy’s younger brother is delivered to him bound, blindfolded, and broken Cove expects to use Elliot Reyes as leverage. What he doesn’t expect is the fierce, beautiful hacker who trembles at the mere idea of darkness… yet ignites something far more dangerous in him the moment the blindfold comes off.

In a world where trust gets you killed, Cove Voss has claimed what’s his and he will burn the city to the ground before he lets Eli go.

It all started with one encounter. One night with a man whose touch felt like sin and whose scent still haunts my skin. I never meant to fall — but when I caught my boyfriend, the Alpha’s son, cheating on me, something inside me broke. And that’s when he found me — a stranger cloaked in dominance and danger. His hands promised ruin, his lips whispered damnation. I gave in. Just once. Or so I thought. Now, I’ve been hired as the Alpha’s new secretary. And when I walked into his office, the world stopped. Because he’s not a stranger. He’s him. The man from that night. The man I should have never touched. The father of my ex. I tell myself I can resist him — that I can keep my secret buried. But every time his gaze lingers, every time that deep, commanding voice wraps around my name, my resolve burns away. This isn’t love. It's an obsession. Possession. Darkness disguised as desire. And I know one thing for sure — once an Alpha sets his eyes on you… He never lets go.

I used to live my life believing that there was something corrupted within me. I had never felt comfortable walking in the searing, bright daylight. It felt as if I didn't belong there. Is that why I felt this sudden attraction to a man who seemed to be the embodiment of darkness? Ashtar Malachious resembled the sum of my sexual fantasies. The shades surrounding him were like a captivating essence. Others called him the predator, the fallen, or the death. I knew that, but my eyes saw him differently. He saved my life in more than a literal way. He seduced me, slowly enticing all my senses. He showed me what a touch could feel like. He let me taste the pleasure I had never thought existed. The one thing he wanted from me was my blood. I knew that if I gave it to him, it would be along with my body, heart, and soul. His irresistible aura blinded me to the dangers that surrounded me. Like a moth to the flame, I stepped closer until the hellfire licked my flesh. Then the wicked flames revealed the cruelest truth—this love kills. In the end, one of us will die.
