A man like me isn’t capable of redemption.

I sell women. Abuse them. Demean them. The day I banged the gavel for the first time is the day I sold my soul, and there’s no coming back from that. I’ve never wanted to. Until she shows up.

She should be just another commodity, but I’m drawn to her in a way I didn’t think was possible. Against my better judgement, I take her for myself, convinced she’s an itch I have to scratch. But she has me under her spell and wishing for redemption instead.

The problem is, when you try to crawl out of Hell, the demons drag you back down. And I’m afraid my demons will drag her down with me.

Caged.

That’s the word that best describes my current predicament.

Kidnapped and taken to a private island full of hungry, depraved men, it seems like my situation can’t get any worse, but, unfortunately, I’m not sure that’s true. The mystery of how I got here reeks of betrayal, and I don’t know how much more of it I can take. It’s starting to seem like lies and deceit are all that I know.

The only crumb of comfort I have comes from one of the island residents, a man I’m told to call Mr. A.

He isn’t quite like the rest, and he gives me hope I can’t help but cling to in a place like this. I hear the rumors, learn why he keeps me at the island manor instead of taking me for himself, and still, I try to put my trust in him like he asks.

Because on an island of monsters, what choice do I have? I want to believe his intentions are pure … but will he turn out to be the biggest liar of them all?

Deciding to come back to find my brother’s murderer?

Easy.

Staying away from the one who could get me killed?

Not so easy.

EDEN
Nine years ago, I ran from this city. Now, I’ve returned to find my brother’s murderer.

To do that, I take his place as Gilly’s owner-operator–the one place in San Francisco’s criminal underworld where it’s a neutral zone, and there’s a clear you-shall-not-cross line drawn between me and the criminals.

That is, until Vito Santoro…

To him, I’m his Garden of Eden, and he was made to sin with me.

VITO
I’m the protector of my mafia family, and they come first. And that’s fine because I’m a one-and-done man, and no woman has captured my interest for more.

But when I lay eyes on Gilly’s new owner-operator–the forbidden fruit that could result in my death–I can’t stay away. I promise myself one bite. Then two.

And when those who killed her brother target her… Well, then, my unhinged beast comes out to play.

Because Eden is mine. My forbidden fruit. My one-and-forever. My undoing. And I’ll paint the world red for her.

One night.

That’s all I allowed myself with the gorgeous stranger.

I didn’t expect he’d be the only one who could save me…

SOPHIE
Family is everything. I’m the sweet and innocent good girl. I have a goal, a plan. And refuse to be distracted.

That is… until I meet him. The gorgeous man who’s covered in tattoos and an expensive suit. Immediately ensnared by his piercing icy-blue eyes, I decide to do something just for me. One night. Then, it’s back to my plan to do right by my family.

But I never expected to fall hard and fast. Nor did I expect the truth–about his family or the horrifying dangers coming for me–to shatter everything.

CREED
My family rules the crime world, and I rule the legitimate arm of our empire. I forged my own path while honoring my loyalty to them.

The moment my eyes fall on Sophie—my angel—I know I’ve found her. The one for me.

But it all crashes down once she finds out who my family is. I have no choice but to let her go.

Until an enemy comes for her, then nothing will stop me from protecting her at all costs. I’ll even wade into the darkest parts of the criminal underworld that I vowed never to go.

Because Sophie is mine. My angel. My good girl. My everything.
