Shadows Series
Shadows of Society (Shadows, #1)
A dark, gripping billionaire romance where passion burns as hot as the secrets that bind them. Perfect for fans of secret societies and broken heroes. Love can be Vienna and Domino’s salvation—or their ruin.
Vienna:
I came to Playa Verde searching for answers—a family I never knew, and a fresh start in life. What I didn’t expect was to become obsessed with the mysterious man who lives next door. No one seems to know his true identity, but exposing it will launch my journalism career. He calls himself Domino. He’s shadows and danger, the kind of man who draws you in even when you know you should run.
But I’m not one to run. I want to know him. I need to know him. I can’t stop myself. There’s a story there and it’s my job to uncover it. I’m pulled into Domino’s world—a world of sex, secrets, and corruption
What starts as curiosity spirals into something darker, something sinful. The deeper I dive, the more I realize: I may not survive loving Domino. But I’ve never felt more alive.
Domino:
Vienna is a complication I didn’t see coming. When she stumbles into our society meeting, I have no choice but to intervene. She’s a beacon of light and innocence, everything I’ve spent years avoiding. I built my empire on anonymity and control, and nothing—no one—has threatened to expose that. Until her. My life is calculated, my enemies relentless, and love? That’s not an option. Not for a ghost like me.
She doesn’t belong in my world. But when she joins the society, I can’t keep her away. The only way out is in a body bag and I need to keep her safe. The more she digs, the more I’m drawn to her. She reminds me of a time when I was worth being loved. But I swore off love for a reason—it makes you weak.
I can’t protect her from the monsters outside…or from the one inside of me. And if it all goes wrong, it won’t just be her heart on the line—it’ll be her life.
