    Summary

    When Gun dies, the minor family is left fractured — and Vegas suddenly finds himself under the silent scrutiny of Pete, a bodyguard sent from the major family to “keep watch.”

    Vegas remembers him only as a shadow at meetings, an unremarkable man in a pressed suit. But in the chaos of the manor, Pete proves himself indispensable: ruthless when needed, impossibly diplomatic, and—most dangerously—beloved by Macau.

    Vegas can’t decide if he wants Pete’s loyalty, Pete’s downfall, or Pete himself. Pete can’t decide if his devotion is duty, desire, or self-destruction.

    And when a stranger named Porsche pulls Vegas’s attention elsewhere, the fragile balance shatters—leaving them both hungry, jealous, and circling each other like predators who can’t admit they’re already caught.

    Loyalties blur, masks slip, and in the shadows of the mafia, even love can cut like a knife.
