He rules the shadows. She’s about to be sacrificed to them.

Alaric Severin didn’t become Underboss by trusting anyone. Cold, controlled, and lethal when crossed, he’s the man who keeps the Severin empire intact while others take the credit. Sera Carrington was never supposed to matter to him. She was brilliant. Necessary. Temporary. Until someone inside Severin Holdings turns her into the perfect scapegoat—and Alaric realizes the threat isn’t just to his power, but to the woman who bears his Brand and the desire he can no longer deny.

Sera knows she’s being watched. Framed. Maneuvered into a corner where one wrong move could destroy her career—or her life. When a dangerous Dante Brand ignites between them, it binds her to the one man powerful enough to protect her and ruthless enough to destroy anyone who touches what is his. Alaric’s protection comes with a cost: proximity, secrecy, and an intimacy that turns possession into hunger. Especially when desire refuses to stay contained.

As pressure mounts and enemies close in, the line between strategy and seduction blurs—and then disappears entirely. Alaric is trained to eliminate threats. Sera is fighting to prove she isn’t one. But in a world built on betrayal, choosing her could cost him everything—and letting her go might be the one mistake he can’t survive.

The Underboss is a dark, intensely romantic mafia romance in Those (Damn!) Texas Dantes series filled with high-stakes danger, obsessive devotion, and a heroine who refuses to be erased—even when the man bound to her by blood, fire, and Brand is willing to burn the world to keep her.
