Forensic auditor Mara Reyes is hired to “legitimize” a web of glittering charities tied to The Devil’s Crown, a nightclub carved from an old church. Her rules are simple: ask, answer, stop at “Saint.” Luca Verano—the syndicate prince who owns the club—agrees… and then asks her to make those rules the heartbeat of his empire.
What begins as an audit becomes a hunt through shell foundations, whispering corridors, and a city that feeds on sin in daylight. As Mara follows the money, she finds a man who can be ruthless without losing his soul—and a desire that refuses to stay safely on paper. Their chemistry is incendiary; their boundaries are sacred. When power plays turn lethal, Mara and Luca must decide what they’re willing to risk to build something clean in a dirty world—and whether a devil can be crowned without burning what he loves.
