Years ago, four dangerous men and a mysterious negotiator gathered in the shadows to broker a deal that would shape the future of the Tenebrae Outfit forever.
Now, the criminal world they created is far darker – far more dangerous – than anyone could have ever imagined.
To survive, four couples – tied to one another in ways none of them understand – must work together to uncover the mob’s deadliest secrets and break free from the darkness that made them.
Raised on the streets, Alessandro ‘Alpha’ Villanova has had to scrap his way to the top. A city that once shunned him is now the one he rules as the king of a dark empire.
Far from Alpha’s world, Zephyr de la Vega has led a normal life. Normal family, normal drama. But when a chance encounter puts her on Alpha’s past, she makes him a proposition that changes everything.
Heir to a notorious mafia clan, Dante Maroni has been trained as a weapon since birth. A silent rebel in the shadows, he has learned to hide his ruthlessness under a cloak of charm, his brutality under suits, and his obsession with one woman under silence.
Daughter of the Maroni’s housekeeper, Amara has loved Dante for longer than she’s known it. So when he finally notices her, nothing will break their bond.
But Amara has a secret. So dark that she almost loses the will to live. So dark that she can't share it with Dante.
Morana Vitalio now knows what connects her to Tristan ‘The Predator’ Caine, one of the Tenebrae mob’s most prized members. And despite the fact Caine works for her family’s rival clan, Morana is determined to break down the walls that surround his heart.
So when Tristan is called back to his outfits’ turf in Tenebrae, Morana follows. Now, she is in enemy territory and the list of those who want her dead only grows.
As dangerous secrets threaten both of their lives, they must band together for survival.
In the dark underbelly of the mob, Tristan Caine has always been an anomaly. The only non-blooded member in the high circle of the Tenebrae Outfit, his skills are unparalleled, his morality questionable, his motives unknown. He is lethal and he knows it.
As does Morana Vitalio, the genius extraordinaire daughter of the Tenebrae’s rival family. What Caine does with weapons, Morana does with computers. And when a twenty year-old mystery resurfaces, Morana is intent on using her skills to prove Caine’s involvement.
Salem Salazar is the black sheep of her wealthy family. Plagued by scandal, she enrols at the elite Mortimer University to find out what happened to her perfect, missing older sister Olivia. There, she soon discovers Olivia is only one of many girls who have disappeared at Mortimer, and vows to uncover the dark forces responsible. Even if it means using herself as bait.
And Cazimir van der Waal has caught her scent. Caz may look as though he was carved by the Gods, but he also has a dark past, a hidden agenda, and a ravenous appetite for a beautiful, golden-eyed girl. But whilst Caz is obsessed with Salem, he is far from the most dangerous thing at Mortimer.
