After accepting mob boss Raine Mathison's life-altering proposal and spending an unforgettable night of passion with him, Solana Trent has woken alone to a new, daunting state of normal: she must maintain her career as the headlining New York Times journalist in organized crime, while secretly serve as the propagandist for Raine's infamous crime syndicate. Frustrated by a growing list of unknowns and anxious in the face of an uncertain future, Solana begins the delicate balancing act of living her double life, and she quickly discovers an unexpected ally in her mentor - Hunter Cavenastri, the syndicate's second-in-command and Raine's own consigliere. Presenting himself to her as a resource for guidance, Cavi works to gain Solana's trust as she confonts the challenges of her new office, but unbeknownst to her and Raine, the underboss has a sinister agenda of his own. Consumed by his jealousy and his lust for vengeance, Cavi's every word and deed aims to destroy Solana and Raine's relationship as part of his cold, cruel plan to reclaim his birthright.
