Making the King

2024

CARA I said “I do” to Rocco King at gunpoint. My wedding was forged in darkness, and at the end of the ceremony, my hands were stained red by the blood of my dad. I didn’t regret my decision when the police took me into custody, or when I was given a prison sentence for my patricide. Three years on, I step out of prison only to be placed back in the care of the man who purchased me as his virgin bride. His actions are confusing, his tenderness a contradiction to his hard exterior, and my desire to kill him turns into a desire of another kind. I quickly learn that my husband is the better of the evils when my family returns to take me back to a life of slavery, and my husband does everything he can to protect me. I never knew it could feel so intoxicating. So all-consuming. ROCCO I’d been tasked to buy, marry, and protect Cara Rodriguez. She never asked to be mine, and she never had any control over the situation. And now, even though she’s released from prison, she has no control over the fact that her parole terms state she must live with me. I’m no fool, and I know she’s capable of killing me in my sleep. While annoying her is entertaining, I can see past her strong facade to the girl she was before all of this happened. She’s all woman now, and resisting her is hard. But not giving her what she needs, what we both crave, is harder. When her family tries to take her away, something deep inside me snaps, and I do everything in my power to make sure those vile predators don’t get their hands on her again. Cara is mine, and I’m never letting her go. Trigger Please note this is a Prequel in the Cruz Kings world. This is the only book featuring Cara & Rocco as the main characters. We promise there’s no evil cliffhanger, so the characters get their HEA at the end. The book contains a troubled, alphahole MMC who won’t let anyone—not even h—stop him from being with her.

Tempted by a King

2023

ZOE “𝑰 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒐𝒚𝒔 𝒃𝒊𝒈𝒈𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 ...” I hate Grayson Black! He calls me Princess, like it’s an insult. He blackmails me into letting him do what he wants to my body. I hate him. But mostly, I hate the way I’m starting to enjoy it. He’s a monster though. The worst kind. And when my world falls apart and my dad betrays the Cruz Kings MC, I’m left behind to suffer. I’m not used to being in this world, and I have no idea how I’m ever going to survive. GRAYSON “𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒉𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒔 𝒔𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝑰 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 ...” It all starts with a bet. Knocking the stuck up princess off her high horse is an entertaining way to pass the time while I watch over her dad, making sure he’s doing the job we are paying him for. It’s always amusing to see the flush in her cheeks and how she tries to fight how her body responds to me. I can see how much she hates me, yet one touch, even while she sleeps, sets her alight. Unfortunately for Zoe Miller, our worlds are now tangled together, and if she thinks the devastation that has broken her heart will make me go easy on her, she’d better think again! TRIGGER WARNING: Please note this is book 1 of 3 in a dark MC contemporary romance series. The book ends on a cliffhanger, and contain a swoon-worthy, alphahole MMC.

Wanted by a King

2023

ZOE Grayson Black needs to pay. He deserved the bullet, but it wasn't enough to keep him away, and now he has a firmer grip on me than ever. I won't make things easy for him, though. I won't let him use me anymore. And if he tries to force me at gunpoint again, he better be ready to pull the damn trigger. I refuse to believe he can be anything but the ruthless dick that forced me to my knees, and stories of his troubled past and moments of tender touches won't make me cave. I've had everything taken away from me, so I have nothing left to lose. I'll go head to head with him, and I won't stop until he's paid for everything he's done to me. I'll make him regret ever laying eyes on me, even if it kills me. GRAYSON I've never wanted anyone like I do Zoe Miller. In fact, the only thing I want more is for her to want me back. With the looming threat of the Cali Reapers constantly hanging over the club, I have to reveal the truth to Zoe. She won't like the secrets I've kept. Tough shit. I don't care about forgiveness or redemption, only that she finally accepts that she's mine. I'm a selfish dick, and when I want something, I get it, even if it puts up a fight. So she can shoot me, cut me, punch me, and even try to run from me, but there's nothing on this earth that will keep me from having her. Zoe Miller is mine, and it's about time she accepts it. TRIGGER WARNING: Please note this is book 2 of 3 in a dark MC contemporary romance series. The book ends on a cliffhanger, and contain a swoon-worthy, alphahole MMC.

Claimed by a King

2024

ZOE They tell me that Grayson Black is dead. Never could I have imagined this sort of hell. I want it to end, yet something inside me refuses to give up. The days in captivity turn into weeks, and the weeks turn into months. As time passes, it becomes excruciatingly clear that the girl I once was is long gone. Buried in a shallow grave created from the horror and trauma that’s etched into my skin. Who knows which version of me the Kings will find if I ever see them again? And will they even come for me now that they no longer have a VP who’s obsessed with me? The time I’ve spent hating Gray seems wasted now. If only I could turn back time and appreciate what I had before the Reapers do me a favor by ending my suffering at the Devil’s Night Brawl. GRAYSON My princess is gone, taken by an old enemy. The club has been crippled, leaving me in charge, yet all I want to do is spend every waking minute burning down this entire fucking planet until I find Zoe. After months without her, the first sign that she’s still on this fucking earth is too sickening to consider luck. When I get my hands on whoever has taken her, they’re going to wish they were never born. I’ll make them regret ever touching what’s mine. Hang in there, Princess. I’m coming for you! TRIGGER Please note this is book 3 of 3 in a dark MC contemporary romance series. The book contains a swoon-worthy, alphahole MMC.

And when you throw in a swoon worthy guy, or an alphahole that you just want to slap, but also fall to your knees and obey, it’s the recipe for a rollercoaster ride. So buckle up. Read the warnings. And let yourself get lost in the dark stories Sarah creates.
