Emerge (Fortuna Nera)

By Sage St. Claire

I built my new life on caffeine and denial. A cozy coffee shop, an apartment upstairs, and not a trace of the drug-running chaos I grew up in years ago.
Peace, finally, until he walked in.

Sebastian Arsenio.
Dark suit. Cocky smile. Eyes that see too much.

He rents the apartment above my shop, pays in cash, and treats me like a challenge he intends to win. I tell myself he's just another arrogant customer with too much money and not enough manners. But there's something dangerous about him, something I can't stop wanting.

He doesn't know I've already survived one criminal empire. And I don't know he's hiding from his own.
Because Sebastian isn't just my tenant. He's a mafia king in exile... And when his past comes knocking, I have to decide whether to lock the door-or let the devil in for one more night.
