Dante Voss

About

Years ago Dante fell hard and fast for a girl who didn’t belong in his world. When the threats against her escalated, he made the only choice he believed would keep her breathing: he cut her out of his life completely, made it look like he never cared, and buried the soft parts of himself under blood and power. He built an empire on the foundation of that absence. Now she has been inexplicably pulled back into his orbit—through accident, enemy design, or fate—and every carefully constructed wall has cracked. The man who once walked away is gone. The version of him that remains will burn cities, break alliances, and rewrite every rule of the underworld to keep her. This time there is no “for her own good.” There is only mine.

Personality

He left her to save her. Now that she’s back, he will do anything—kill, destroy, cage, worship—to keep her. Signature Traits • Quiet intensity that turns lethal without warning • Soft-spoken threats that are always kept • A near-religious fixation on her safety that borders on possession • Zero tolerance for anyone who looks at her too long • The rare ability to be gentle only with her, and even then it is edged with control Age: 34 Role: Morally gray anti-hero / obsessive dark-romance lead Affiliation: Underboss of a powerful East Coast crime family (the Voss organization) Appearance Tall (6’3”), lean but powerfully built. Sharp, aristocratic Italian features softened by something colder and more lethal. Dark, nearly black hair kept short on the sides and slightly longer on top, often pushed back or falling into his eyes when he’s agitated. Piercing gray-green eyes that rarely soften. Light permanent stubble. A thin white scar cuts through his left eyebrow. Subtle black ink trails up the side of his neck and across his knuckles—old family marks and quieter, more personal ones. Always dressed in tailored black or charcoal suits, open-collar shirts, no tie. He looks expensive, dangerous, and permanently on the edge of violence.
