She didn’t rise to the throne of the underworld by chance—she took it, brick by bloody brick. The city feared her, worshipped her, whispered her name like a warning. She trusted no one, loved nothing, and needed nobody. Until the night she met him—an ordinary college student with ink-stained fingers and soft eyes who stumbled into her world of bullets and secrets. He should’ve been nothing more than a moment of softness in a life carved from violence. Instead, he became the one weakness she could never kill… and the one love she never saw coming. She ruled the city’s underworld with a cold smile and a loaded gun, a queen draped in shadows and feared by every man who’d ever whispered her name. Power came easily to her—trust did not. But everything changed the night she crossed paths with him: a quiet, wide-eyed college student who had no idea he was sitting across from the most dangerous woman in the city. She was a storm dressed in velvet, the most feared ruler the city’s underbelly had ever known. Mercy was foreign to her, and love? A luxury she’d buried with the bodies of her past. But when a quiet, unsuspecting college student crossed her path, she felt something she hadn’t felt in years—a crack in the armor. One glance, and destiny shifted. Because even a queen can fall… and sometimes she falls hardest for the one person she can never have.
