Beneath Shadows and Secrets
Ethan Marlowe, the most feared and revered crime lord in the United States, rules the underworld with intelligence, ruthlessness, and a keen sense of loyalty to those who serve him well. Despite his dark reputation, he has a code: no unnecessary violence and no trafficking of innocents. He believes himself untouchable—until the FBI sends its sharpest and youngest agent, Aria Hart, to infiltrate his world.
Aria, driven by a family tragedy caused by crime syndicates, poses as a journalist writing a feature on the enigmatic billionaire. But her undercover mission becomes increasingly complicated as she finds herself drawn to Ethan’s hidden vulnerability and his dangerous charm. Ethan, on the other hand, suspects her motives but can’t resist the allure of her fiery spirit.
As they collide, their lives spiral into a whirlwind of betrayal, passion, and moral ambiguity. When an even darker syndicate threatens both Ethan's empire and Aria's mission, they are forced to work together, blurring the lines between hunter and hunted. But can love truly survive in a world drenched in blood and shadows?
