ZANIAWADEFICTION
The Rules of Succession are Written in Blood.
-
August Vale, the rightful heir to the Vale crime empire, was raised to be a weapon wrapped in silk. Groomed for control and stripped of emotion, he knows that to rule, he must be ruthless. But when his own uncle attempts a devastating betrayal, August is left bleeding out in a city alley, his entire life collapsing around him.
His only hope lies with Kade, a former elite black-ops killer known only as 'The Ghost,' who abandoned his life of violence for a quiet existence as a mechanic. Kade wants nothing to do with the war, but August's arrival-and the murder of his neighbor-forces him back into the fire.
-
Bound by mutual danger, a growing list of bodies, and a terrifying, inescapable attraction, August forces Kade to become his shield, his confessor, and his lover. As they fight their way back to the throne, August must reclaim his empire while Kade must destroy his own moral code to protect the man he saved.
THE QUIET PROTECTION TRILOGY.
The rules of the underworld are absolute: fear must always conquer love. But when the heir to the most powerful criminal empire in the city finds his salvation in the arms of a retired black-ops killer, the line between duty and desire shatters forever. The Quiet Protection Trilogy follows two generations of lethal men-Sovereigns, Ghosts, and Forerunners-who discover that survival depends on absolute authority, ruthless precision, and the dangerous intimacy forged in blood. The cost of love is high, but in this world, absolute power demands an absolute partner.
