Shadows Rising by Elizabeth Blackthorne

In a world of darkness and desire, the heist of the century is just the beginning.

Cole sets my soul ablaze with his warmth and passion. But it’s Alastor, his dark and irresistible ex-lover, who awakens a forbidden longing within me. Alastor wants me too, and his relentless pursuit ignites a dangerous flame that I can’t resist. I despise him, and yet, with every stolen touch, my resolve weakens, and the line between hate and desire blurs. I fear the depths of my own desires, afraid of the path they might lead me down.
More complications arise when Theo enters the picture. Alastor’s right-hand man, a wolf shifter and brilliant hacker, he stirs something within me. His easygoing manner and sweet humour only add to the already tangled web of emotions. As the lines blur between friendship and something more, I find myself torn between the familiar comfort of Cole and the dangerous allure of Alastor and Theo.
Amidst this emotional turmoil, we embark on a daring plan—a high-stakes heist set amidst the glitz and glamour of Sin City. The stakes are higher than ever as I confront my own desires, face the shadows of my past, and make choices that will not only shape our mission but also the course of my heart.
Within the neon-lit streets of Las Vegas, I unravel the truth about my captive past, haunted by a dark power that threatens to consume us all. Hellions roam the streets, people vanish without a trace, and sinister forces awaken, casting a menacing shadow over Sin City. As time runs out and danger lurks at every corner, will I succumb to my deepest desires?

Can I untangle the mysteries that have plagued me for so long? In a world where love ignites, secrets unravel, and the cost of passion may be higher than I ever imagined, I must trust my instincts and navigate the treacherous game of power, love, and deception.
