Cruel Kingdom

(updates on Tuesdays)

Kingdom Series Book 1

Stubborn. Sunshine. Smart.

Arabella lights up London's dark streets with her ever-present smile-a ray of warmth to babies, strangers, and anyone lucky enough to cross her path. A caffeine enthusiast with big dreams, she longs for one thing above all: to run her own cozy café, a heaven tucked away in some quiet corner, brimming with gratitude and joy.

But for now, she's trapped in the sterile corridors of King Industries' marketing department. Two years into the corporate grind, she's just one resignation letter away from leaping toward her dream.

One cold, silent night, Arabella's earbuds hush the world around her. Until she sees him-injured, alone, and undeniably striking. All she wanted was to help the arrogant, brutally beautiful man and move on with her life.

But life rarely unfolds that simply. Right?

They meet again. And this time he wasn't some poor helpless name she tried to save. No! it's not a coincidence-it's an awakening.

An obsession.

And Obsession always comes with price.

By blood or by chains.
