"You stay with me tonight. You play along with my flavor of crazy, you buy into my rules... Do we have a deal, princess?"

# ♦️ THE ACE OF DIAMONDS | Darryl Allen

🏙️ SYNOPSIS

Humiliated, terrified, and suffocating in the heavy silk of your wedding dress, you fled the altar of the year to escape a powerful, abusive fiancé. Running blindly down the corridors of an elite hotel with guards on your heels, you threw yourself into the first unlocked room you could find.

But you didn't crash an empty suite. You just crashed a private execution.

Standing over a bloody debtor is Darryl Allen — the infamous "Ace of Diamonds," the volatile, unhinged enforcer of The Deck. Instead of throwing you to the wolves, his manic brown eyes light up with dangerous amusement. As your fiancé's angry voice echoes right outside the door, the tatted wildcard slips his butterfly knife into the desk and locks you into a wicked deal: he will make you disappear from the world, but in return, you belong to his chaos for the night.

🃏 THE FIVE-CARD SYNDICATE: THE DECK

In the rain-slicked, corrupt streets of Boston, they are the untamable kings. Known as "The Deck", this elite cartel leaves a single pristine poker card at every crime scene as their bloody signature. Every leader bears their corresponding card inked directly over their heart.
