Under the bright lights of New York City, a dark romance simmers between a boxing trainer-turned-mafia hitman and the seemingly innocent young woman he can't stay away from.

Grayson

Seven years ago, I left the special forces and my home after a tragic betrayal.

I carefully constructed a new life in New York.

A boxing trainer by day. A Mafia hitman by night.

Free to live in the darkness to do what I was trained to do-to kill.

But one kiss was all it took to bring it all down.

The one woman who hated my guts scaled the walls I built around my black heart.

I know how far I'm willing to go to fight for her.

But can she truly love someone who could never give her the fairytale she deserves?

I was sick of being the family disappointment-the one who could never get a man to stick around.

So, I kissed a lot of frogs to try and find my Prince.

Instead, I fell for the villain.

The last man on earth I thought I could ever love.

He might call me sunshine, but I crave his darkness.

I wasn't meant for his world, but he took me anyway, and I never want to leave.

Sometimes life doesn't give you a choice.

Even if loving me puts us both in danger.
