Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

Sold. Caged. Desired. When Valeria is sold to the mafia, she is thrust into a brutal world of blood and power, where survival is a game only the ruthless can win. With nothing but her wits and a fire that refuses to die, she sets her sights on the most dangerous man in the underworld-La Campone, Alfredo Dela Cruz. Her plan is simple: Make him want her. Make him need her. Make him her way out. But Alfredo is not a man to be controlled. He is a king among criminals, a man with darkness in his veins and secrets buried deep. The more Valeria plays her game, the tighter his grip on her becomes-until she no longer knows if she's seducing him... or if she's the one being consumed. Love was never part of the plan. Freedom was all she wanted. But in a world where hearts are as dangerous as bullets, can Valeria escape before Alfredo owns her completely? Or is she already too far gone? In this world, love is power. And power always comes at a price.

She has lived for one hundred and fifty years and never once felt alive. Vesper, daughter of the immortal and fearsome Lord Draconius the Eternal, has spent her endless life lurking at the edges of the human world from the shadows of Crimsonpeak. Watching. Wondering. Yearning for something she cannot name. But when she slips away from her ancient mountain kingdom and ventures into the broken, starving streets of Thyrandor she finds something she never expected. A girl. Briar is beautiful, sharp eyed and surviving by any means necessary. Owned by a woman with cold hands and colder ambitions, passed between sailors and travellers like a coin, she has long forgotten what it feels like to be truly seen by anyone. She has built walls so high around herself that she has forgotten there was ever anything worth protecting inside them. Until Vesper. But darkness is spreading across the land like a plague with no cure. Lord Belphegor and his merciless minions are ravaging the human world soul by soul and the corrupt tyrants of Thyrandor are selling their own people to feed his insatiable hunger. Two women from opposite worlds must navigate love, betrayal, war and survival in a kingdom that wants them both destroyed. Some wars are fought with swords. Some are fought with the heart. And some scars run deeper than fang marks. 🖤
