Under the Cover of Night, He Shed His Final Mask

Damian Locke spent 23 years as the heir to the underworld, and no one had ever pushed him this far. Vivienne Ashford was the neighbor he grew up with, and the only person who dared to look him in the eye and say, "I hate you." There was a woman by Dominic's side — a suitable match arranged by his father — but what lay hidden in his own heart was something no one else knew. This time, Vivienne was determined to cut ties. She deleted him from her contacts, moved to a new place, and finally bought an economy seat on an international flight. She believed that once she was in the sky, she could leave everything tied to the name Hale firmly on the ground. Dominic stared at the "Boarded" location pin on his phone, then crushed the half-empty glass of whiskey in his hand. He had told her before — some things couldn't be erased just by deleting a contact.
