Most love stories start before the fireworks-before the passion, before the chaos. But not this one. Youssef El-Masri is the ruthless king of the Egyptian Mafia, worshipped and feared in equal measure. His empire is soaked in blood, his throne forged from bone and gold. And ruling right beside him is Nafisa Monroe-a stunning, sharp-tongued Black woman with queen energy so potent, entire cities kneel in her presence. She's not his weakness-she's his mirror, his madness, his equal in every way. Married, madly in love, and dangerously codependent, Youssef and Nafisa are the very definition of chaos in perfect harmony. They make war in the morning and love by moonlight. They speak in bullets, kiss through blood, and protect each other with the fury of a thousand suns. But when an old enemy resurfaces, threatening the empire they've built and the trust they've sworn in blood, the couple must decide how far they'll go to protect what's theirs. Their love is toxic to some, terrifying to many-but to them, it's the only thing pure in a world of shadows. Steamy. Savage. Unapologetically unhinged. Crowned in Crimson is a twisted, addictive love story about two dark souls who found light only in each other-and dared to burn the world for it. For readers who love: ✓ Mafia royalty power couples ✓ Black heroines with goddess energy ✓ Steamy scenes mixed with bullet casings ✓ Healthy love... wrapped in unhealthy levels of violence ✓ Ride-or-die romance to the grave and beyond #5 in Bloody

Imagine your father-a once honorable and loving man, now desperate and powerless-can no longer pay the unforgiving gambling debt he had stacked up for decades. And because he's unable to be that protective and respected father he once was, he sells his only daughter to a notorious Mexican gang leader as collateral just to save himself from death. As troubling as they may have been as a dream, that was the reality of 24-year-old Naomi Bennett. As soon as her birthday came around, she was bombarded with devastating news that she would no longer have control of her life. She was now owned by a random man due to an issue she had no association with, unable to escape or hide from his ruthlessness, conniving ways, and inhumane behavior. Since becoming the new leader of the Mexican gang, The Black Shadow, Santiago Alejandro de la Vega vowed to maintain that mysterious and demeaning atmosphere the organization has been carrying for years. He handled business as he saw fit: coldblooded, devious, haunting, and dirty. No one ever thought to play with him out of fear of what he could and would do if tried, except for one. A woman who was given to him as collateral, a hardheaded piece of property that angered every cell in his body and made his job more difficult than it had ever been. As badly as he wants to send her away to the mountains-avoid having to constantly deal with her attitudes and sass-Santiago finds her rebelliousness intriguing enough to keep her around. Emotions flare. Feelings emerge. Problems spark. The Devil holds rules and codes of conduct to keep himself and his team in line. Any rule broken is met with severe consequences. But he couldn't help but risk breaking one for her. Created: 12/31/21 Published: Ended:
