Law. Justice. Truth. I traded them all for him.
As a lawyer, I live for the truth, but when my best friend is murdered, the truth drags me into a war I can’t win. And right in the middle of it… is him.
Marcus King.
The mafia’s deadliest enforcer. A monster wrapped in black silk and savage intentions.
Now I’m trapped in his mansion, bound to him by a fake engagement and a very real desire.
To the mafia, I’m a liability. To Marcus, I’m the obsession he wants to ruin.
And the only way to survive him is to ruin him first.

I had one job: watch Charlotte Burton, figure out what she knows, then let the Falcones handle the rest.
I wasn't supposed to step in. I definitely wasn't supposed to touch.
But the moment she’s cornered in that alley, something in me snaps. I don't just want to protect her. I want to own her. Because she gets under my skin, into my blood, into the hollow place in my chest that was never supposed to beat again.
She thinks she’s looking for justice, but she’s walked into a lion’s den. And now that I’ve had a taste, her fate, her fears, her fire… all of it belongs to me.
I’ll destroy cities to keep her breathing, pulverize anyone who dares to touch what’s mine, because she’s no longer a pawn. She’s mine. And I never let go of what’s mine.
Even if we both become ash.
Violent Delights is the first standalone in the Empire of Violence series, a scorching dark mafia romance about obsession, danger, and a love that was never supposed to survive. Expect enemies to lovers, a fake engagement, a dangerously possessive antihero, high-stakes suspense, morally gray choices, and a hard-earned HEA.
