MATTEO:
I caught him infiltrating my club wearing a disguise and carrying a wire. Stefan Romano—the forgotten son of my enemy, sent on a suicide mission by his own father. I should have killed him. Should have sent him back. Instead, I kept him.
Locked him in a comfortable room and told myself it was strategy. That I’d use him as leverage against the Romanos. That my obsession with him was just about control.
I was lying to myself.
Now the FBI’s building a RICO case that could bury us all. Stefan’s father is cooperating with federal agents. And the man I’m supposed to hate is the only thing keeping me sane while my world falls apart.
I should let him go. But I won’t. He’s mine now. And I protect what’s mine.

STEFAN:
My father sent me to gather intelligence on the Vitales, expecting me to fail. I got caught by their brutal enforcer—a man whose reputation for violence precedes him. Matteo DeLuca should terrify me.
Instead, he gave me something I’ve never had: choice.
He unlocked the door and told me I could leave. I stayed. Not because I had nowhere else to go, but because for the first time in my life, someone valued me for more than my appearance.
Now I’m falling for my former captor while cutting ties with my family. While Matteo faces life in prison. While everything we’re building could be destroyed by the same trial that should tear us apart.
I’m choosing him anyway. Over my family. Over safety.
Over everything.

A dark M/M romance with forced proximity, enemies to lovers, and intense family and legal drama. High heat. Morally grey characters. Obsessive love. No cheating. HEA.
Book 2 in the Inferno series. Each book features a different couple but follows an interconnected story. Can be read as a standalone.
