Beneath Contempt

The line between justice and love is razor-thin and I'm teetering dangerously on the edge. My name is Ruby Sullivan, a cop by day, and by night, I’m a fearless infiltrator in the city's most notorious mafia organization. It was meant to be just another assignment. I was prepared to delve deep into the shadows, prepared to be the hand of justice within the serpent's lair. But I wasn't prepared for him.

Rafael "Rafe" Russo - a name that commands both fear and respect. A name that now consumes my every waking thought. His world is unlike anything I've ever known - ruthless, chaotic, seductive. His icy demeanor and ironclad control are formidable, yet I see sparks of vulnerability that ignite a forbidden attraction within me.

And it terrifies me.

Each day, I tread deeper into the Labyrinth of Sin, guarding Rafe, witnessing his illicit world unfold before my eyes. And each night, I grapple with an emotion that could be my undoing - desire. His world is dangerous, his charm lethal, but I'm caught in his gravitational pull and there's no turning back. My commitment to justice clashes with the desire of my heart, creating a storm within me.

The world of the mafia is not a place for love, it's a place for power and survival. Yet here I am, stuck in a dangerous dance between duty and desire, justice and love, betrayal and truth. As I plunge deeper into this treacherous world, one thing is clear - there's no going back.

I’m in too deep, and the worst part is - I don’t want to find a way out.
