👀 In this city, I’m an easy target…

I came to Manhattan chasing Broadway dreams.🎭 Now I dance in a club to pay the rent.

House rules are simple: dance, smile, don’t speak. What the fine print hides: I’m up for auction.

Tonight, the crowd pays to watch me move. Tomorrow they’ll pay to own me. My choices? Be sold by a butcher—or be taken by the man eyeing me from the corner.🥃

🚬The devil in a tailored suit is quiet, cold, and obscenely handsome—scrutinizing me like a problem he intends to solve.

Turns out he’s Nikolai Volkov—newly crowned Russian mafia king. In his world, power isn’t a choice. Neither is loyalty.

Where others see prey, he sees something worth protecting. And once his eyes find me…they never leave.

He becomes my silent shadow.
Watching. Studying. Stalking.
Until watching isn’t enough.

When the bullets fly and I think it’s all over, he speaks my name like a vow. Suddenly I’m safe from everyone but him.

💰He tells me protection has a price and sets it high: my freedom, my name, my complete surrender.

He doesn’t seduce—he commands. One word and my pulse obeys. One touch and my knees do.🫦

But I refuse to lose everything I’ve worked for…my dreams.

So I run…

It’s my sincerest pleasure to introduce you to

🍀🖤🍀Lucian Byrnes🍀🖤🍀

Irish mafia man at his finest.🥃

📸I’d like to give a special thank-you to Wander Aguiar, the photographer who captured this incredible custom cover image. @wanderbookclub @wanderaguiar_photography ❤️

🖤🫦🖤

She prayed. They preyed.👀
God never answered Scarlett’s prayers—so I did.

🖤🫦🖤

Everyone thinks I’m pure.
The good girl.
The holy one on her knees, whispering prayers.📿

They’re wrong.

🥀I’m far too dirty for salvation.
Too worthless to be loved.
Too jaded to trust anyone.

So when a man drags me from a church on Christmas night, I expect brutality.

What I get is worse.🖤

He doesn’t touch me as if I mean nothing.
He handles me as if I’m precious.
Like I’m fragile.
Like I matter.

❤️‍🩹And that terrifies me.

Because he kills without remorse, sees everything I try to hide, and when he looks at me, it’s not hunger—it’s possession.🫦

The deeper I fall into his world, the uglier the truth becomes.

This isn’t about one city.
Or one cartel.
Or one broken girl.

💵It’s about presidents, princes, and men rich enough to believe they’re untouchable.

But when he vows to burn the world to keep me alive, can I survive what loving him will cost me?

Tropes:
🥀Forced Proximity
🖤He Would Burn the World for Her
🥀“Touch Her and Die”
🖤He Falls First
🥀Dangerous Protector
🖤Vigilante Justice
🥀High Heat
🖤Morally Gray MMC
🥀Scarred FMC
🖤Dark Mafia Romance
🥀Romantic Suspense

Eyes of the Unholy is the dark, ruthless second installment in the Sin Syndicate series of mafia romances, where forced proximity, vigilante justice, and “touch her and die” devotion collide. This book delivers high heat, morally gray men, and love with catastrophic consequences as the Syndicate war escalates. No cliffhanger. HEA guaranteed.

Eyes of the Unholy by Evie James is a dark mafia romance with forced proximity and possessive vibes.

🔪 She needed a weapon. They gave her an Irishman. 🔥

Lachlan 🥃
I’ve always been good at reading people, but she was a beautiful liar.

Maybe it was the fear in her eyes and my enemy’s name on her tongue that lured me in. Maybe I wanted to believe a woman trapped by monsters still deserved saving.

I should’ve listened to my instincts. Instead, I followed her straight into hell.
Now I wake blindfolded in a dungeon, wrists and ankles cuffed to a chair bolted to the floor, breathing in the stench of piss and death as sweat drips from my chin in this godforsaken cesspool. The last thing I remember was her smirk.
And the truth I chose to ignore.

Eyes never lie.🖤

Isabella 👑
I’m heir to a throne in a country I’ve never seen and a prisoner in a kingdom built by a cartel beast.

For twenty-five years, I’ve survived by staying quiet…obedient…invisible.

Then they dragged the Irishman into my cage.

Foul-mouthed. Scorching temper. A tortured man who refuses to back down or beg for mercy.

He may be the first weapon powerful enough to cut me free.

He might be my salvation.
He might also be collateral damage.

Because I’ll lie. Steal. Bleed. Use him if I have to.

Freedom always demands a price.
And this time, it won’t be me.

🩸 Eyes Never Lie is the third installment in the Sin Syndicate series of interconnected standalone dark mafia romances. Expect a secret identity twist, captivity, forced proximity, touch-her-and-die devotion, vigilante justice, brutal underworld stakes, violent retribution, and scorched-earth love.

💖Dual POV • No cliffhanger • HEA guaranteed 💖

What you can expect from Eyes Never Lie:
⛓️ Forced Proximity
🎭 Secret Identity
🗝️ Captivity Romance
🔪 Touch Her and Die
⚖️ Vigilante Justice

🥃 Morally Gray Irish Mafia Enforcer
🥀 Slow Burn
💣 Romantic Suspense

And once again, a huge thank-you to the wildly talented Wander Aguiar @wanderbookclub for another stunning cover image, and to cover model Aaron Mead for bringing my mafia enforcer Lachlan Byrnes to life so perfectly. 🔥

🖤💖 NIKOLAI VOLKOV. THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE OBSESSION. 💖🖤

Stalker hero? ✔️
