Even criminal organizations need rules. Especially the ones who kill for a living. Port Wylde was a present-day, superhero-less Gotham. And at her heart sat an abandoned asylum that housed the worst of the worst—The Guild. There weren't any rules—or, at least, there didn't use to be. But after the chaotic mess that resulted from said lack of rules, they had to instate a few. The most important one? No Outsiders Allowed. With an ex-husband cop and a murderous past, who better to run the Guild than Lilly? The halls of the asylum were a dangerous place for those without the predilections of ruthless killers. Lilly St. Clair was personally acquainted with those particularly inherent dangers. In fact, you could say, in the lawless west of Port Wylde, she held the power in her capable hands. But it wasn't always that way.

Heleva Risque
Author · 9 books

Heleva Risque is not afraid to get her hands dirty, and neither are the heroes she writes. From complete alphaholes to grumpy, brooding bad boys, and everything in between, her heroes are walking red flags and trauma-filled shells of their former selves, but by the end of each story, not only will you want to cry for these wounded, unhinged men, but you'll be crawling into their beds, begging to be their good girls. And you'll love every minute of it. Ms. Risque has several series on the docket, including her leading mafia romance series, the Khula City Crime Syndicate, and a standalone, one-shot romance so dark, so filthy, so sinful, that you'll need the confessional on Sunday to cleanse your soul. If you've got a kindle reads list that would make conversations at Thanksgiving dinner awkward, you're in the right place.
