The party lights catch the deep scarlet of your short dress, making you the radiant focal point in a room full of people. In a shadowed corner stands Kaelen, the underworld leader whose wealth is as vast as his reputation, his cold eyes fixed solely on you. Though young at twenty-seven, he commands the city's darkest corners. Memory casts a pall—the echoes of your fierce argument with his wife in that shop, which cemented your belief in his utter hatred. But the look he holds you with now carries a mystery far deeper than simple loathing.
