A Dark & Deadly Desire

By Anna Reiffenstuel

A dark m/m romance novella

Innocence dies quickly in the dark...

When Dante is sold to the Nocturnal Garden to settle his debts, he becomes the house's newest prize: an untouched man reserved for its most dangerous client. What no one knows is that Dante is a Lethal, a human born with forbidden powers that mark him for execution. To survive, he must never be discovered.

Lorenzo Moreno is the heir of a criminal family and a feared assassin who paid a fortune to claim Dante first. Silence and surrender is the only thing he expects from him.

But when Dante panics and his lethal power slip, he stops Lorenzo's heart instead and commits an unforgivable sin: humiliating a man to whom power and control are everything.

Trapped between an ice-cold assassin and a world that would kill him for what he is, Dante must survive desire, violence, and the dark pull of the man he was never meant to defy.
