Let me see you, mon lapin . Let me design you, define you, and consume you. They call me the Initiator, and Les Frères Perdus is where it all began. Gone are the days that they could strike me down. Now, I live with the family I created, in a golden cage that is my castle. And I am King. But when my brother comes home from New York, I see him . Hidden in the shadows, tall and strong, yet timid and kind. Mason represents an emotion I’d thought was trapped inside me, lost in nostalgia. The connection to my past, wrapped around me in silk rope, now tied around the neck of the man my brothers have brought home. Mason’s inexperienced, and he lashes out with anger. He wants to fight me, though he can’t deny what we both crave. My beautiful, strong lapin . Because I’ll take it all, and more. I’ll devour him. Looking after Pops, and making sure I keep my spot in the Inner Circle of the Business, are the top priorities in my life. For us to survive. And I never asked if there’s anything more. Until they come after me, those we have branded as murderers, as our enemy. They chase me away from the second row and into the spotlight, where he awaits. Gabriel is the most stunning man I’ve ever seen, and as wicked as he is gentle. As ruthless as he is compassionate. He becomes the enigma I want to unravel. But when the doors to freedom open, I know I need to ask myself the most obvious question. And accept the answer.
