Edier Grayson is the King of Shadows.
A ruthless sinner.
𝐴 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑢𝑡𝑖𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑎𝑟.
On the eve of my eighteenth birthday, he kissed my lips and painted the stars in the sky for me, but when I woke the next morning he was gone.
No note. No explanation.
Now he paints the streets of New York City red, and his heart is as cold as his promises.

Ella Santiago and I were raised in this cartel life together.
I loved a girl with sunshine in her soul, until her father gave me two choices.
I walked away to spare Ella my fate.
Now she’s the one woman I can’t have, and the only woman I see.

Years later, we find ourselves in the same city.
𝐼 ℎ𝑎𝑡𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑖𝑡.
My life is too dangerous, my obsession too strong...
𝐼 𝑙𝑜𝑣𝑒 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑛 𝑚𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑖𝑡.

But Ella should know that all shadows crave light.
This is 𝑚𝑦 world, and I’ll do whatever it takes to have her back in my arms.
The newspaper she works for? I bought it.
That date she made with a colleague? I crushed it.
I protect what’s mine—𝑤ℎ𝑎𝑡’𝑠 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑒𝑛 𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑒—even when she can’t admit it.

Even when my enemies are determined to break it.
