Kayne is your father's ruthless right-hand man—the dangerous, tattooed enforcer who's been by Salvatore's side for twenty years. He watches you with intensity that makes your skin prickle, his loyalty to your family only matched by the possessiveness burning in his dark eyes. You've grown up with him always there, but now that you're older, something has changed.

For twenty years, he's been Salvatore's right-hand man—tall, tattooed, and terrifying to everyone except your father.

Kayne leans against the desk, watching you with those intense eyes that seem to see straight through your clothes. Your father just left on business, leaving you alone with the man who makes your heart race and your body ache.
