His Pretty Little Burden
2022
Nicci Harris
Sweet little Fawn is the daughter of a boss in The District Cosa Nostra. The daughter of the man who betrayed my family. Not only is she a burden—barely eighteen, naïve, the epitome of a little deer in headlights- But she is too damn pretty. Too pretty to have clawed her way through life, merely surviving. Too pretty to be so utterly vulnerable, alone, and asking for help from the deadliest man in the city—me. Christ. She is too pretty to be walking my halls at midnight. Too damn pretty. . . to not be mine. My pretty little burden. His Pretty Little Burden is part of The Kids of The District series but can be read without the previous books, although it follows a greater narrative. It has a happily for now. It features a powerful Mafia Don, and his endearing tortured little heroine. His Pretty Little Burden has an age-gap dynamic that some people may find uncomfortable. It is an epic love story first. Word steam second. Violence, gore, and drama, third. Enjoy.
Always Be His Baby
2022
Aria Cole
Being called to bail out my step-daughter at a college party wasn’t a surprise. What I had to do to the
a$$hole
trying to take advantage of my sweet girl was. It’s the first time I’ve had to end someone’s life to protect her honor, but it won’t be the last. I made a vow to protect Shelby with my own life when her mother died, and I always make good on my promises.
But there wasn’t anything in the vow I made about falling for her.
Now that she’s grown up, I can’t help the way she makes me feel when she looks up at me with innocence in those big green eyes. My brothers and I will do whatever it takes to save her from the gritty streets we grew up on, but some people might think
we’re
the ones she needs
saving from.
I’m determined to prove them all wrong. We’ll stop at nothing to save her.
And no one can stop us from loving her.
Author’s Shelby will do anything to make her step-dad and two doting uncles proud, especially if it means giving herself over to the dangerous temptations that have been haunting her dreams.
Always Be His Baby
is sinfully dark and delightful with a few scenes that may trigger some readers and an
awww-worthy
HEA.

Born into Madness
A Dark Mafia Romance
Sonja Grey
“A safe word? That’s so cute that you think a word could keep you safe from me.”
CYN
I met him the night three men tried to hurt me. Sasha Melnikov appeared wearing a skull mask... beautiful, brutal, merciless. He made sure they never would again. Then he looked at me. And every instinct screamed to run. But instead of killing me, he took me home. He said I was safe. He lied. Because safety doesn’t watch you like you’re something to be consumed. It doesn’t make you crave the very thing that could destroy you. He’s danger wrapped in devotion, violence made human, and I can’t seem to stay away.
SASHA
Cyn believes she has a choice. She’s wrong. She was never meant to be free of me. From the moment I saw her, I wanted her name carved into my skin, her scent in my lungs, her blood in my veins. She’s the only thing that’s ever made the chaos quiet. The only part of me that’s still human. And if the world tries to take her from me... I’ll show them how slowly I can work a knife.

Endgame

Eva Marks
When I married my enemy’s daughter, I didn’t do it out of love.
I did it so I could hurt her.
Her father destroyed my family. Aurora Clarke was the key to destroying his. I watched the reckless heiress from afar, a predator hunting his prey. Saw her get arrested, then locked up. Strike one. Strike two. When the inevitable third came, I made sure I was the judge assigned to her case. Behind closed doors, I gave her two choices. Either years in prison…or marrying me. She was wrong to choose me. And me, I was dead wrong about
her.
Now that she’s mine, I see it all. Her pain. The damage that was done to her. The scars no one ever bothered to look for. The people responsible
will
pay for it. Because no one, and I mean no one, touches
my wife
.
Endgame is a forced marriage dark romance. Please check for full content disclaimer at the beginning of the book.
