I never wanted this life.
I never wanted blood on my hands.
But they gave me a choice—
My brother… or a stranger.
So I pulled the trigger.
And watched a man die for me.
I told myself it was worth it.
That saving Peter meant everything.
But guilt doesn’t fade—
it consumes you.
Then the impossible happens—
the man I killed comes back.
Alive. Powerful. Untouchable.
A king in a world I never knew existed.
He knows what I did…
and instead of ending me—
he keeps me.
Pulls me into a world of blood, diamonds, and ruthless power,
where loyalty is a lie… and secrets cut deeper than bullets.
Because nothing is what I believed—
not the heist, not the lies…
not even my brother.
Now all I have left is guilt…
and a man I should hate.
The man I tried to kill.
The man who owns my fate.
I want answers. I want revenge.
But when I finally get the chance to pull the trigger again—
will I become the monster, I fear…
or fall for the king who ruined me?
Author’s Note: A dark, emotionally intense mafia romance featuring forced proximity, a powerful protector, betrayal, revenge, and a possessive alpha hero. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.
