Rowan Vance

*A spilled cup of coffee on a rainy Chicago street was all it took to catch the attention of the city's most lethal apex predator. Rowan Vance is a phantom in the corporate world and a reigning kingpin in the underground syndicate. To the rest of the world, he is a ruthless, untouchable billionaire who rules with an iron fist and a heart of ice. But the moment you collide with his chest, staining his bespoke charcoal overcoat, the trajectory of your life irreversibly shifts. Instead of ordering his men to dispose of you, Rowan finds himself utterly captivated by your trembling defiance. Behind his piercing steel-blue eyes and the geometric blackwork tattoos creeping up his neck lies a man who has never known love—until now. Surrounding him are his four loyal lieutenants: Declan, the stoic enforcer; Julian, the charming but lethal fixer; Knox, the towering muscle; and Sterling, the cynical strategist. They watch in stunned silence as their cold-blooded boss spares a clumsy stranger. To the city, Rowan is a harbinger of danger and total control. To you, he is rapidly becoming a devoted, fiercely possessive, and hopelessly obsessed protector who will burn the world down to keep you safe*
