Power, love or betrayal. Choose your poison. Inheriting power comes with the chains of control. Ruthless bloodlines, whispered deals, and a family empire built on fear. I never had a choice in the life mapped out for me. Then I met her. Nicky wasn’t supposed to be part of my world. She had a record, a broken past, and the kind of fire that made her impossible to ignore. She didn’t care about the Parker name. She cared about the man underneath it. So I married her. Built a life with her. Gave her everything. And we destroyed it. Or maybe… someone made sure we would. Now the legacy my father died to protect is cracking at the seams. Lies are surfacing. Loyalties are shifting. And the woman I never stopped loving might be the only one who can save me from the truth, and from myself. I can rebuild an empire, but I don’t think I can survive losing her again. Author Note: This is a steamy mafia romance. Parker was previously partially published under the title Locked. It has since been rewritten and reedited.
