Davet de Wees
I'm called de Duivel. The Devil.
I govern Les Voleurs Syndicate with the same harsh rules and code of honor that have governed my life since I was a kid. I worked my way from the streets to this place of power, and now the respectability of my syndicate is at stake because I am lacking a wife. I've reluctantly agreed to entertain the thought, but I don't want a vapid piece of arm candy that was traded in marriage to strengthen bonds with another syndicate. However, when Liliane Lemaire appears with a proposition I can't ignore, I find myself drawn to the beautiful woman, tempted by all she can bring me. But trust is something I don't often give, and I'm worried that she's going to lead me down a dangerous path, one that can ultimately destroy me.
Liliane Lemaire
My father has sold me into marriage once already. He's a ruthless criminal that cares about nothing save power, money, and creating fear in those around him. I lived surrounded by that fear, allowing myself to be traded into what I thought was meant to secure a bond between my father and my husband. But then the unthinkable happened, and I found myself back in my father's evil clutches. He wants me to do something nefarious, and if I don't agree, he's going to send me straight to the Block, a human trafficking auction ran by my father. I'm done being used, and I'm determined to bring him down, even if it kills me. My only hope is to join forces with de Duivel, the only man capable of bringing my father down. But I don't know if I can trust him to keep me safe, and I'm afraid that if we don't succeed, Davet will suffer the same fate as my last husband, and I'll always be nothing more than my father's evil pawn.
