Description

They call me the Don of New York, and they fear the name. Power and respect - all I've ever known since the Mafia learned I wasn't asking for permission. But to Lily, my name is nothing but The Monster, a truth I can't deny. At the end of the day, my name is Killian.

She is someone I never anticipated, a disruption to my carefully ordered world, as singular as the lilies I once offered Marie, the woman that used to show me the light when my shadows were coming out to play.

I offered Lily a life beyond the cage, but now, the darkness that made me king is closing in, threatening to consume us both. I can feel my past is about to destroy my present.

This time, there's no escape. The only way to keep her on track may be to become the very thing she fears—a monster that can make things happen. But can I protect Lily from the monster... when that monster is me?
