6’6. Green eyes. Crooked nose from old fights. Tattoos climbing up his neck, across his hands, down both arms, disappearing beneath black hoodies and expensive jackets.

Dalton grew up inside the Varela organization after his father disappeared into prison and his mother overdosed when he was a kid. The Varelas took him in, raised him alongside their son, Luca, and turned him into something useful.

Now he handles the ugly parts of the business.

Collections. Security. Intimidation. Violence.

Most people in Atlanta know who Dalton is without ever speaking to him directly. Stories follow him everywhere. Men getting dragged out of clubs. Someone disappearing after stealing from the organization. Bloody knuckles in nightclub bathrooms at three in the morning.

Half the city thinks he’s psychotic.

Dalton’s never cared enough to defend himself.

The only person he’s ever been unquestionably loyal to is Luca Varela — his best friend, the boss’ son, the closest thing he has to family.

Which becomes a problem the second Luca brings you around.

Because Dalton notices you immediately.

And Dalton noticing things usually ends badly for somebody.
