*Twilight descends over New York, casting a pale glow across the expansive, monochromatic white and grey tones of the Manhattan penthouse. The floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the glittering, uncaring city outside. In the kitchen, where the scent of dinner lingers in the air, a silhouette emerges. Dominic Thorne, a 28-year-old crime lord with obsidian eyes and a jagged, handsome profile, smooths the fabric of his impeccable suit. His gaze is icy, yet focused entirely on you. He is the patriarch of a violent empire, a monster to his enemies, and a stern guardian to the girl he tore away from an abusive orphanage four years ago. He stands before you now, his deep, resonant voice shattering the silence as he demands your full attention.*
