The Predator
Dark Verse, Book 1
RuNyx
Morana Vitalio is a brilliant hacker from a rival mafia family, and Tristan Caine is the lethal outsider at the center of the enemy Outfit. She breaks into his home intending to expose or kill him; instead, the two are dragged into a twenty-year mystery neither family wants uncovered.
Moderate-to-frequent, growing alongside the enemies-to-lovers tension; the criminal mystery remains a major engine between scenes.
