Revenge Consumes. Betrayal Burns.

In a world where shadows lurk and murder is the currency of survival, Rebelle Vischer thrives in the darkness. Someone who fades into obscurity until she’s released from her prison. Being a mercenary was never a life goal, but after being betrayed by the three guys who meant the world to her, she has no choice.

Trapped in a world so different from her past, Rebelle is assigned to take out Mario Russo, the head of the Russo Crime Family. But the mission takes an unexpected turn when fate throws her back to the three men who shattered her past and left her to suffer for their crimes. With only her partner and soulmate, Haunt Graves, by her side, she navigates through the mess of her past, colliding with her torturous present.

As she immerses herself in the mission, old wounds resurface, and the lines between loyalty and betrayal blur. With each encounter, the ghosts of their shared past threaten to unravel her carefully erected walls of wrath and rage, igniting a spark of unexpected yearning while placing her mission in jeopardy. Colter, Brooks, and Stafford walk around free and Rebelle intends for them to feel the same pain she has for the last five years. She just doesn’t know how far she’s willing to go.

Dark Things is book one of a why-choose mafia romance duet. The characters are morally gray and give zero f*cks about societal rules. Check triggers before reading.
