She built her empire on blood, fear, and silence.
Arora — the infamous queen of the Black Rose Gang — is a name whispered in the underworld, a shadow feared even by monsters. In two years, she turned a crumbling syndicate into an empire. She doesn’t lose. She doesn’t love.

Until him.

Jack — a man too soft for her world, too bright for her darkness.
He was supposed to be a pawn, a hostage she could forget the next day. But his smile, his innocence, his maddening warmth… they tore through her armor one heartbeat at a time.

Now she’s torn between the gun and the heart — between the empire she bled to build and the man who makes her want to burn it all down.

Because in her world, love isn’t a fairytale.
It’s a weapon.
And Arora is about to find out what happens when the most dangerous woman alive falls for the one man she was never meant to touch.
