CILLIAN We didn't inherit this city-we took it. Power like this doesn't come without blood, secrets, and enemies. The FBI is circling, the walls are closing in, and this is the worst possible time to lose focus. Especially for her. Madison Roark wasn't supposed to be anything more than a one-night escape-just a beautiful distraction I'd forget the next morning. But I keep seeing her-everywhere. In my thoughts and slipping into the dark corners of my world like she belongs there. I can't stop craving her-even when nothing about her adds up. Perfection like that comes with a price, and I can feel it-she's hiding something. MADISON A new city. A fresh start. A new life. After graduation, I swore I'd stay away from anything that could expose me. But then he happened-Cillian O'Brien. I should've run the second he looked at me like he owned me. Instead, I crossed a line I can't uncross-letting him be my Daddy. Now I'm tangled in something dangerous-deep in his world and falling hard for him among a web of lies. But if he ever finds out who I really am... loving him won't save me. It might just get me killed. When lies run deep and loyalty cuts like a knife, someone always pays the price-and this truth could bring an empire to its knees.
