"Enter the dangerous world of power, passion, and forbidden love in The Next Vicious Generation—where blind loyalty always comes at a price."

Marcello Romano. Enforcer. Shadow. Son of a king and heir to a criminal empire.

I kill for the Outfit. I bleed for my family. I do all this and more just to silence the voice in my head—the one that’s haunted me since I was a boy, whispering things no sane man should hear.

Keeping busy is how I keep the darkness fed. I was coping just fine… until she showed up. Isobel Graham. All bright smiles and fitness plans.

She walked into my gym like she belonged, but I could smell the lies on her. I’ve seen the way she watches me. Like she’s studying. Hunting.

But the thing is... I see her too. More importantly, I see through her. And still… I want her. Not just a little. Not just in passing. But to keep.

I’ve never wanted anything in my life. Not one damn thing. Just her. Just Izzie. Even knowing she’s dangerous. Even knowing I am too. I still want her… even if I can’t have her. Because I’m not the kind of man you fall for. I’m the one you survive.
