One with a masked persona who is the king of drug distribution in the America’s.
And another as a respected entrepreneur.
For years I’ve worked myself to the bone to survive.
To make a name for myself.
To build an empire.
Until suddenly none of it means anything without her.
Ember comes into my life like a wildfire.
One moment she’s a distant pipe dream, and then she’s an all-consuming obsession.
For months I stalk her, keeping her safe from a far as I prepare my kingdom for us to rule side by side.
She’s hesitant at first, not knowing how to trust someone after years of being let down.
But if she thinks I’m going to give up without a fight, she has another thing coming.
From the first time I saw her, I knew there was nothing I wouldn’t do for her.
I’d burn down the entire world and give her every dollar I’ve ever made.
I’d walk away from everything I’ve built and end anyone who has ever made her cry.
But there’s one small problem.
She’s intent on destroying the man that killed her brother.
And that just so happens to be The Hunter.
My alter ego.
This is a dark romance with themes that some may find triggering, and I urge you to check the content note before reading. This is the first book of a duet, and it does end on a cliffhanger.
