All Malan Lasercaster wanted was to make her last drop and disappear into a cantina. The streets were supposed to be clear, yet palace guards closed in at every turn. She bolted into the shadows, only to slam into someone solid. Not a guard. A prince. Doman Loneozner was never meant to be running for his life through the alleys of Nephelopolis. Raised for the throne, he hid behind a false name and a common cloak, until betrayal stripped away his safety and left him hunted. Now his only chance at survival lies in the arms of a rebel smuggler who should have left him behind. Enemies by birth, bound by necessity, Malan and Doman cannot escape the pull between them. Every glance tempts betrayal. Every touch sparks fire. In the end, the greatest danger may not be the empire hunting them but the desire that threatens to consume them both. _____________________________________________ Please note this book is a Star Wars inspired Space/ Sci-fi fantasy romance and may include content that you could find triggering and might not be suitable for some readers.

Once promised to a man who betrayed her, Addie burned the life she knew to the ground. Revenge tasted enchanting, especially when served in the arms of her ex's deadliest rival, Enzo Lombardi. She gave him one night of sin. Then disappeared without a trace. Enzo never forgot the women who used him as a weapon. He should have been livid but all he felt was ravenous. And when Adelina "Addie" Russo re-emerges after 10 years, it's not to ask for forgiveness- it's to take what she is owed. Instead of returning as the scorned dethroned mafia princess she has returned as one of the greatest mafia assassins known as the High Priestess. The High Priestess doesn't beg. She commands. She's the one pulling strings from the shadows, listening more than speaking, and always one step ahead. Her power is quiet, intuitive, and deadly. She knows every secret-your alliances, your weaknesses, your sins-and she'll never let you know how much she knows... until it's too late. He is a king with bloodstained hands. She's an assassin on the path for her crown. Together, they're a war waiting to happen and the only thing more dangerous than their revenge is the heat still burning between them. _____________________________________________ Please note this book is a dark mafia romance and may include content that you could find triggering and might not be suitable for some readers.
