Synopsis
Kai is a skilled assassin sent into Blackwater Prison with one goal: end the life of Enzo, a mafia prince whose twelve previous assassination attempts all failed. To get near him without drawing suspicion, Kai relies on manipulation, using seduction and a show of submission to work his way into Enzo's inner circle while planning to dismantle the criminal empire from within.
Everything changes when Kai learns a shattering truth: Enzo has always known exactly who he is and why he came. Worse, Enzo has spent fourteen years waiting for this reunion, which points to a history between them far more tangled than a simple job. Now Kai is pulled in several directions, threatened by Enzo's ruthless family, endangered by a jealous fiancé, and bound to a man who will not let him leave.
Kai now faces an agonizing choice: finish the assignment and kill Enzo to win back his freedom, or give in to the dark pull that is consuming them both.
