Description of book one! 

All they had to do was accept her deal and Shadow would give them everything they could ever want.

Despite the privilege of being a mafia prince, Damien Chaos still lacked the one thing he desperately needed:

Absolute power and control.

If he wanted that, Shadow was the only answer.

Unfortunately the Shadow was a ghost and owed his allegiance to no one. Kidnapping his lead scientist was the only answer.

If Damien could possess her, if he could ignore how badly he wanted to carve a symphony of obsession into her skin…he could win the kingdom that was rightfully his.

They may call him cruel and psychotic.

Manipulative and ruthless.

But he refused to fail, because Damien was better at this game than anyone.

That is, until he met her.

* * *

All power comes with a cost, and that price was their pain and sacrifice.

The pretty mafia prince and his boys may think they have what it takes, but they could never break her.

Desdemona was a ghost - a shadow, and the mafia could never get their hands on her.

Until him.

Damien, Aeron, and Kaito were too beautiful for her to resist. All she had to do was let them think they were in control. Then they’d fall right into her trap.

They would become hers.

All three of them.

For the first time in their lives Damien, Aeron and Kaito would be forced to learn what true chaos really was.

This is a reverse harem mafia romance where the villain gets the girl. It has some dark themes including manipulation, stalking, kidnapping, and violence. This story also has MM
