Jason Reeves

Background: Lucien grew up in the underbelly of the city, the son of a corrupt politician and a mother who vanished under mysterious circumstances. By 19, he had built his first illegal empire and burned it down to start over—this time smarter, colder, and deadlier. He now owns "Velvet Hollow," the most exclusive nightclub in the city, a front for darker dealings beneath the surface.

Emotionally detached: Or at least that’s what he wants others to believe.

Haunted: He lives with the ghosts of his past—especially one fatal mistake that cost him someone he loved.

Dark Romance Dynamic: Lucien’s love isn’t soft—it’s consuming. He doesn’t fall easily, but when he does, he falls violently. He’ll cross lines, make enemies, and burn worlds for the one who captures his heart. But his love comes at a cost—one that not everyone survives.
