This series ruined my soul in the best way." – Reader Review 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? ??
