The Dark Kings are the best combination of alpha heroes and romantic suspense. Each book is a roller coaster ride of emotion, danger and sizzling, sexy fun. - Carly Phillips, NY Times bestselling author.

One minute I’m discharging from the US Marines, the next I’m undercover in the Baldassare mafia searching for my kidnapped cousin, thanks to fellow marine and billionaire Connor Barrett. He found me a way in.

Her name is Gianna Baldassare.

Do I care that I’m using her? Not at fucking all.

To begin with.

Then her long dark lashes and Italian curves start to affect more than one body part and royally messes everything up.

---

My friend Mia got out. There has to be a way for me to escape this life. Except how many powerful, gorgeous billionaires are there wanting to take on a mafia brat?

Zero. That’s how many.

So when another buffed-up gangster smirks at me, seeking to join my father’s dangerous business, I figure why not. It’s just another day in crime lord paradise. It’s his funeral.

Until I learn Braxton’s not who he says he is, and I’m left torn between loyalty and freedom. The price we both have to pay could be far more than we bargained for.

Which one of us will run first?
