Adam Mulaney is a high-functioning sociopath with a singular focus: keeping his brothers safe and their dark, necessary work hidden from the world. As a billionaire with a penchant for lethal precision, Adam leads a life defined by control and calculated detachment. That is until he crosses paths with Detective Silas Avery. Silas is everything Adam is not—earnest, doggedly moral, and frustratingly observant. When a series of events forces the two into an uneasy alliance, the lines between predator and protector begin to blur in ways Adam never anticipated.
This high-stakes thrill ride masterfully balances adrenaline-pumping suspense with an intense, slow-burn romance that defies morality. You will find yourself rooting for a protagonist who is unapologetically dangerous, yet deeply vulnerable when faced with the one person who sees past his sociopathic facade. Onley James delivers a gripping mix of dark humor, sharp banter, and raw emotional stakes that makes this billionaire police romance stand out from the crowd. If you enjoy complicated men finding redemption in the arms of those who challenge their darkness, this story offers a perfect blend of heart-stopping danger and a profoundly satisfying queer connection that will keep you turning pages until the very end.
