Noah... I hate him. Always have. The way he looks through me, then pretends I don't exist... There's something wrong with him. More wrong than the rest of my father's men... It's a good thing Killian Donovan doesn't think about me at all. But when I'm on my knees, staring down the barrel of his gun, accused of a crime I did not commit, Killian is all that's left between me and a shallow grave. He must have a weakness... and I've got five seconds to find it. Killian... Kill Noah King. Those are my orders. It's about time the boss' brat was put in his place. Too loud, too stupid, too... tempting, and when he betrays the family, I get to shut that sassy mouth forever. A damn shame, because when he's on his knees with my gun between his lips, his pleading silence isn't the only thing that stops me pulling the trigger. I've got five seconds to choose... Five seconds that change both our lives forever. * King's Pawn is a dark mafia romance between two men who really shouldn't fall for each other, but can't seem to resist temptation. An enemies-to-lovers, grumpy-sunshine, age-gap, hate-f*ck, capture kink, touch-him-and-die (literally) novella.
