"In my world, mercy is a death sentence. And you, Amara, are the most beautiful sin I’ve ever committed."
Amara Bennett was a ghost in the city of Chicago—quiet, hardworking, and invisible. She lived by the rules, until one rainy night, she took the wrong shortcut and witnessed the one thing no one survives: Lorenzo De Luca, the cold-blooded Mafia King, executing a traitor.
In the underworld, the law is simple: No witnesses.
But when Lorenzo looks into Amara’s terrified eyes, he doesn't pull the trigger. Instead, he pulls her into his shadow. He claims her as his "guest," locking her in a gilded mansion where the walls are made of gold and the exits are guarded by monsters.
Now, Amara is trapped in a world of blood and luxury. She is the witness his enemies want dead, and the obsession he refuses to let go. As a war breaks out between the city's most dangerous families, Amara must learn the new rules of survival.
In the house of De Luca, there is no escape. There is only the King, his dark secrets, and a sinful obsession that might destroy them both.
