7th Circle - Tate James

Twenty-three-year-old Hayden "Hades" is the most powerful gang leader in Shadow Grove...but new dangers and new feelings might just threaten her circle of hell.

“I wouldn’t fall.

Because the second I did, someone would be there to slit my throat and toss me to the sharks. After all, it’s what I would do.”

Five years ago, I masterminded the infamous massacre of the Tri-State Timberwolves. The streets outside the Wolves HQ ran red with the blood of the old guard, and not one of the members loyal to my father was granted mercy.

I let the media twist and distort the story. My new recruits eagerly proved themselves by spreading false news, then covering our tracks. To the general public, the Tri-State Timberwolves were extinct.

But that couldn’t have been further from the truth. We changed, we grew, we evolved; we came out stronger than ever. Now, I live, eat, sleep and breathe Timberwolves.

I’ll do anything to keep my empire safe and thriving. To keep the people depending on me safe. So, what do I do when it’s my own weakness that places us all in danger? When I let sex cloud my judgment, and my people pay the price?Simple.

Kill the distractions. I’m called Hades for a reason, after all.
