She’s the only thing he can’t afford to lose… and the only one he was never meant to have.
Lorenzo Hudson, a cold, calculating billionaire and ex-syndicate kingpin, runs London’s most elite private security firm with precision, ruthlessness, and a heart locked behind steel walls. Haunted by a past laced in blood and betrayal, he lives by control—until Reina Hayes storms into his life.
Reina, a brilliant and unbreakable London attorney, is fearless in the courtroom and relentless in the pursuit of justice. When a case involving a powerful crime syndicate lands on her desk—one so dangerous other lawyers vanished trying to solve it—she refuses to back down. But a single name changes everything: Lorenzo Hudson. The man with secrets darker than midnight… and eyes that see too much.
As their paths collide through cryptic threats, a missing sister, and buried trauma, what begins as distrust erupts into a dangerous alliance. They’re forced to navigate a world of lies, codes, and shadows—together. But trust isn’t easily given, especially when every touch is a risk, and every secret could explode their fragile truce.
Beneath gunmetal tension, smoldering glances, and stolen moments, something undeniable blooms.
Love, maybe. Or obsession.
But when the syndicate resurfaces with vengeance, Reina and Lorenzo must decide: will their twisted pasts destroy them, or will their forbidden connection become the one weapon that can set them free?
