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?
