The FREE sneak peek into a brand new arranged marriage, dark cartel romance. Are you ready for the darkness? My dark guardian lavishes me with expensive gifts... but now he wants so much more. I've lived my life in seclusion, sheltered, hidden and taught to be obedient. Every year on my birthday, my guardian comes to visit. My parents say he's cruel, vicious and unforgiving, but all I see is a man who wants to give me everything. But on the night of my seventeenth birthday, everything changes... He says I'm no longer a little girl, and the time has come for him to collect his debts. And this debt is one only I can pay for. The Cruel Guardian is the short prequel to the Kingpin's Property trilogy. It is not a standalone book.

And the worst part is… He hasn’t touched me once. While my body burns for his punishing embrace, he’s denied me the thing I want most. But I have ways of making him do what I want, too.

The Vicious Defender
2022
To stop my parents from killing my godfather, I have to marry him.
Older and dominant. Cruel and sadistic. Xavier Gunn proudly leads his cartel against my father. The only thing he’s more ruthless about than messing with Dad is making me his property. Problem is, I don’t hate him anymore. Despite all my preparations, I can’t help but fall in love with the monster. My husband says he’ll do anything to keep us tethered. My father says it’s an eye for an eye… All I know is, I never planned for any of this. Least of all suspecting I’m pregnant with Xavier’s child.
The Vicious Defender is
book five of six
in Xavier and Tallulah’s story. This is a dark mafia romance. The hero is possessive to the max, and the heroine is a trained assassin. Dark, gritty, spicy. Cliffhanger, HEA at the end of the series.
