Vivian Frost is a bright and bubbly interior designer whose sunny disposition hides a dark past. When she lands her dream job renovating the mansion of the reclusive and brooding billionaire, Liam Blackwood, the two instantly clash. Liam is notoriously grumpy and distrustful, while Vivian's constant cheerfulness and optimism rub him the wrong way.

As they are forced to work closely together, an undeniable attraction begins to simmer beneath the surface. But just as Vivian and Liam start to let their guards down, a series of unsettling events make it clear that someone is out to destroy them.

Vivian's past comes back to haunt her, while Liam's own secrets threaten to tear them apart. In a race against time, they must learn to trust each other and uncover the truth before it's too late. Can this mismatched pair overcome their differences and admit their feelings, or will the dangers closing in drive them further apart?

Ruby staggered back, her breath ragged, wiping blood from the corner of her mouth. Liam stood opposite her, his jaw tight, the rain soaking them both. His fists were still clenched, but he wasn't advancing. Not anymore. "Why don't you just finish it?" she spat, her voice sharp but trembling. Liam's eyes burned into hers. "Because you don't want me to." Her laugh was bitter, broken. "Don't flatter yourself." "Then stop looking at me like that," he growled, stepping closer. "Like what?" "Like you'd rather kill me or kiss me." The air between them buzzed, heavy and charged. Ruby's heart pounded as he closed the space between them, his hand brushing hers. "You don't know me," she whispered, though her voice lacked conviction. "I know enough," Liam said, his voice rough, his gaze locked on hers. For a moment, neither moved, their breath mingling in the cold air. Then, without warning, Ruby grabbed the front of his shirt and yanked him forward. Their lips met in a collision of anger and need, the kiss desperate, violent, and all-consuming. When they finally broke apart, gasping for air, Liam's hand cupped her jaw, his thumb brushing her cheek. "Still hate me?" he murmured. Ruby's lips curved into a dangerous smile. "Shut up, Liam." And she pulled him in again.

π•πˆπ•πˆπ„πππ„ 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his strange antisocial behavior, creepily minimalistic apartment, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the bloodied body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run - riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble - is a lot more than she could've bargained for. πŒπ€π’π’πˆπŒπŽ π‘πŽπŒπ€ππŽ is beyond redemption. Capo of the Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies cold precision and perfect control. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. β™› Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance with mature content and dark themes. Read at your own discretion. [ Book 2 in the Romano Brotherhood Series ]
