Mafia Queens aren't born; they're made. Digger, Jet, Pony, and Boss—four names synonymous with danger, power, and pain. As part of a blackjack bet, I've been given to these mafia kings by my father to do with as they please—but they don't know what cards I'm hiding up my own sleeve. Welcome to Khula City, where four legendary Mafia remnants of a bygone era cling desperately to power. My father was indebted to these four men thanks to his gambling addiction, but when the price got too steep, he played himself into a corner and bid me, his only daughter, like a mail-order bride—on a losing hand, no less. Now, I belonged to these men who held my life—and my body—in their iron grip. I went with these criminal bosses, but I didn't go quietly, and if they thought I'd be a submissive little captive, they had another thing coming. I would fight them tooth and nail and make them rue the day they accepted me as collateral. I was Angeline Hernandez, daughter of fallen mafia princess Renata Torini, and I bowed to no man. This book and all subsequent books in the standalone series contain many themes and tropes that some may find unsuitable, unsavory, or downright dark. You can find a TW list on my website.
Author

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.
