Dante is an all-powerful Italian Mafia don—cold and ruthless—who regards Lucien, the younger brother adopted into the family, as his sacred, untouchable treasure. With no outlet for his pent-up desires, Dante captures Silas, the top assassin from a rival gang. Though Silas is defiant and untamable, his green eyes bear an uncanny resemblance to Lucien’s. Dante keeps Silas chained in the basement; by day, he is a suit-clad don, but by night, he transforms into a brute, violently claiming Silas’s body and treating him as a tainted substitute for Lucien.
