Dangerous Proposal

EVIE
My life is as ordinary as it gets—broke, buried in textbooks, and barely scraping by in this city that never stops. I didn’t expect anything exciting to happen, not with my routine of classes, work, and endless assignments. Then I meet Red. He’s dangerous in a way I can’t ignore, a mafia boss whose presence sends a chill through my bones and a fire through my veins. He pulls me into his world, a world that’s dark, seductive, and nothing like what I know. Now, I’m torn. Should I run, escaping the danger I never asked for? Or give in to the desire I can’t seem to control, knowing that it could cost me everything?

RED
I’ve spent my life leaving a trail of destruction behind me—it’s who I am, what I do. The mafia world is built on shadows and blood, and I’ve never looked back. Then I see her. Evie. She’s pure, untouched by the darkness I’ve come to live in, and the moment I lay eyes on her, everything shifts. I’ve never believed in love, not until her. Now, all I want is to keep her safe, to protect her from the hell I can’t escape. But I won’t let her go. I can’t. She’s the one thing in my life that’s perfect, and I’ll burn the world down before I let anyone take her from me.
