BADASS

Biology calls. Choice decides.

André Sereno fixes what the city breaks. An electrician in the morro, alpha of a pack he never asked for, he climbs the poles at dawn, restores the power the militia cuts, and carries on his arm the scar from the day silver nearly took him. The morro trusts him. He trusts cable, phase, and ground, because cable doesn't lie.

Vicente Bragança stepped off the plane with a surname that opens doors and closes paths. A diplomat, heir to a family that spent their lives avoiding trouble, he returned to Rio for one reason alone. His best friend disappeared, leaving behind a ring, a letter, and a warning: Don't come as a prince.

The missing man's trail leads up to André's morro. And there's new silver circulating at the parties, a powder that shines bright and burns the wolf from within. To find Lucas, the prince needs the electrician. To protect the pack, the electrician needs the prince. Neither counted on the rest—the warmth of the motorcycle's back seat, coffee served in the good cup, the hand that lingers a second too long.

Between the militia, a laboratory, and an enemy with a surname all too familiar, the two discover that silver isn't the only thing that enters the body without asking permission.
