The scorchingly hot alpha male mafia romance from J. T. Geissinger, author of TikTok sensation Pen Pal. Two people are bound by a debt that must be collected – no matter the cost . . .

Five years ago, Natalie's world shattered. Her fiancé disappeared, and all that remained were her broken heart and a million unanswered questions. Until a mysterious stranger arrives in town.

Kage is no ordinary neighbour. He is tall, dark and dangerous. He is a feared Russian mobster, an assassin known in the underworld as the Reaper. And Natalie is drawn to Kage, like a moth to a flame.

Heat crackles between them with every look, desire flares into passion and she falls hard, helpless to resist. Kage develops an all-consuming, obsessive need for Natalie. But Kage has a secret. And, as their connection deepens, the dangerous reality of Kage’s life begins to bleed into Natalie’s world.

With a bloody syndicate war brewing and enemies closing in, Kage will burn his empire to the ground to protect the woman he loves. But in a world ruled by ruthless creatures, surviving might cost them everything . . .
