Love After Darkness
Is love even real unless someone dies?
Life can make a man cold and vicious, make you question every shadow. And it’s no secret that losing my partner changed something inside of me.
That’s not why I’m obsessed with the mistress of the dark web, Aria Darklyn.
For the first time in too damn long, there’s light at the end of the tunnel and a way out of my misery. I’ve got to work my way through the twists and turns of the job to figure out if I can trust my heart…
And whether love can truly exist in a world where death is always lurking. But the closer I get to answers in this case, the more danger we face.
Will Aria be just another casualty in a war against crime and corruption? I’ll have to decide where my loyalties lie and whether I’m willing to pay the ultimate price for love.

Devan is a detective working a case when he is distracted by a beautiful redheaded woman while at a crime scene. She leads him into an alley and gives him a BJ. 🤭 He doesn't know what happened or why he let her do it, but he is intrigued by her. Aria is the right-hand woman for the leader of the Black Market Syndicate and an online dark web hacker... and also the woman Devan is now obsessed with. After finding out that her boss is turning to human trafficking, Aria is determined to stop him. She turns to Devan and his team for help. This was such a good story. Devan has been going through a lot since everything with his last partner, and he just doesn't know what he wants or who he is. It takes Aria coming I to his life to help him figure things out. I love how feisty and bold Aria was and how much she pushed Devan without overdoing it. Received an ARC and give my honest review
