Alessandro "Alpha" Villanova, who grew up on the streets of Los Fortis, struggled to the top while battling for his life, losing everything in the process. He used to be despised by the city, but now he dominates it alone as the ruler of a secretive empire.

Zephyr de la Vega lives outside of Alpha's universe and has a typical life, family, and turmoil. People attempting to make her drop a few pounds are her biggest issue. She crosses his path by coincidence, and she offers a proposition that alters the direction of their lives.

Their collaboration develops into something deeper, more durable, and more powerful than any of them imagined when a killer goes on the rampage in Alpha's city, tearing apart his scarred empire body by corpse, and The Syndicate enters the picture.

Although I've heard this was the least favorite, the series is becoming less and less dull for me. I think I didn't truly know the characters well enough to assess them. I adore Zephyr without a doubt, but I can't even begin to think about Alpha. He was acting so casually. I adore some grumpy love interests, don't get me wrong, but Goddamn, sometimes I forget he's even in the book.

I didn't think anything happened in terms of the narrative until the mystery's continuance at the 80% mark. As I've already mentioned, Alpha's casual attitude contributed to the misunderstanding theme in the book. I probably enjoyed it less than the others since I detest this trope so much. I believe that, in contrast to Tristan Morana and Dante Mara, their romance appeared rushed and pushed for the purpose of the plot.
