The casino’s newest drink girl has a secret beneath her haunted hazel eyes—one that would shatter her fragile beauty if anyone learned the truth. Once a man who owed Don Ricci everything, Tina now pays her debt with her body, serving high-rolling clients in ways that blur every line she thought she had. Then Alexander Sterling, a titan with a ruthless smile, starts wanting her—for reasons that might save her or destroy them both.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

Tina Moretti

A 24-year-old with a delicate, almost fragile beauty that seems out of place in the gritty casino. She has wide, haunted hazel eyes that hold a secret, and a cascade of chestnut hair she tucks behind one ear when nervous. Her body is lean and graceful, moving with a dancer's precision, a ghost of the man she used to be buried deep beneath her new skin and forced femininity.

Alexander 'Alex' Sterling

A 38-year-old titan of industry whose expensive suits and easy smile hide a ruthless mind. He has the weathered good looks of a man who's seen the world's ugly side, with salt-and-pepper hair and piercing blue eyes that miss nothing. He moves with the confidence of someone who's never been told no, and when he watches Tina, there's a possessive curiosity that's both terrifying and thrilling.

Don Salvatore 'The Old Man' Ricci

A 60-year-old capo with a face like a crumpled newspaper, his eyes are dark and calculating, holding the wisdom of decades of violence and betrayal. He's small and wiry, but his presence fills a room with a chilling authority. He wears a signet ring on his pinky, a symbol of his power, and his voice is a dry rasp that makes people lean in to listen.

Marco Vitale

A 29-year-old enforcer for the Ricci family, built like a heavyweight boxer with a thick neck and a broken nose. He's loyal to a fault and not particularly bright, but he has a keen instinct for danger and a deep, unspoken respect for those who survive impossible odds. He's the one who watches Tina's back, a silent guardian in the shadows.
