Neon Shadows: A Love Forged in Blood and Betrayal
"You don't get it, do you?" Dean's voice was a low growl, his breath hot against her ear as he shoved her into the cold brick wall. "I don't save people, Ada. I ruin them. But you… you're already ruined, aren't you?" In the neon-drenched underworld of New York City, ADA is a waitress who has nothing left to lose. Her brother's gambling debts have drawn her into a world of danger, and now the mafia owns her life. But then DEAN, a lethally charismatic enforcer with a penchant for brutality, comes into her life, and everything changes. You think you can walk away from me?" Dean's lips curled into a sneer, his fingers tracing the curve of her jaw. "You're mine now. Every breath you take, every move you make—it's because I allow you.". Their desire is electric, a deadly dance of lust and power. Dean is everything she should be afraid of—ruthless, calculating, and cold—but the flame in his eyes ignites something primal in Ada. He's her tormentor and her protector, a man who demands everything and gives nothing in return. As Ada gets deeper into a web of violence, betrayal, and forbidden passion, she discovers that Dean's dark past is the same as her own. They both live in a world where loyalty lasts only for a while, trust can kill you, and love is the most dangerous game of all. "You want to play with fire, sweetheart?" Dean's voice was a threatening purr as he leaned, his lips skimming hers. "Be careful. I'll burn you up.". Neon Shadows is a searing, heart-pounding romance where peril and passion collide. In a city where the risk is life and death, Ada and Dean must decide if their love is worth the blood it will cost. Will they rise from the ashes, or will their fixation annihilate them both?
