When a dangerous enforcer for the local crime syndicate accuses your grandmother of harboring criminals, one night of passion becomes so much more complicated. Jakob is everything you shouldn't want—ruthless, criminal, and absolutely magnetic—but as you're pulled deeper into his world and his investigation, you can't deny the electric connection between you. What starts as a desperate attempt to clear your family's name transforms into something darker and more addictive, forcing you to question how far you're willing to go for the man who makes peaceful seem hopelessly boring. This is a delicious dive into the criminal underworld with a hero who's as lethal as he is irresistible, and a heroine brave enough to meet him in the shadows.
Reading soundtrack
Dark, sensual, and dangerously intoxicating—industrial beats mixed with sultry R&B and moody alt-rock. The feeling of crossing a line you can't uncross, magnetic tension that burns, and the seductive pull of something forbidden. Think Halsey, The Weeknd, and FKA twigs.
