The Predator

Dark, dangerous, delicious. The first book in a dark mafia romance series from TikTok sensation, New York Times and international bestselling author, RuNyx.

In the dark underbelly of the mob, Tristan Caine has always been an anomaly. The only non-blooded member in the high circle of the Tenebrae Outfit, his skills are unparalleled, his morality questionable, his motives unknown. He is lethal and he knows it.

As does Morana Vitalio, the genius extraordinaire daughter of the Tenebrae’s rival family. What Caine does with weapons, Morana does with computers. And when a twenty year-old mystery resurfaces, Morana is intent on using her skills to prove Caine’s involvement.

Until she realises they are bound together by a decades old secret which neither of them can escape.
Something terrible – something huge – is brewing in the mob. And only Morana and Caine can fight it. Together.
