A King So Cruel: Dark Mafia Romance

ROSALIE As an accountant, I built my life on precision. On balance sheets that closed and numbers that behaved. Then I found... something. Two missing cents led me to billions in blood money, and, to Tristan Kovac. The city's most dangerous myth wearing a charcoal suit. I should have erased the file. I should have pretended nothing happened. I didn't. Now I'm locked inside his fortress, forced to untangle the empire I exposed. He calls me a liability. He holds a knife to my throat... literally. He says I belong to the "Ledger" now. And the worst part? I don't just fear him. Sometimes, I crave the way his control wraps around me. The way his intense blue eyes strip me down to something raw and trembling. The way his touch makes me feel something I never felt before. Every command feels like a sin I want to confess. If I give in, I lose myself. If I fight, I lose my life. Either way, Tristan is about to rewrite my balance sheet in blood. TRISTAN The moment I laid eyes on her, pinned to her desk, I knew Rosalie Cross was special. Her clinical brilliance captivated me, but it was her defiant fire, even as fear flickered in her hazel eyes, that hooked me deep. I'd never encountered such an intoxicating challenge, a mind sharp enough to uncover my secrets and a spirit too stubborn to break. A bullet. All it would've taken. I should've eliminated her, kept my chaos from touching her pristine world. But... I couldn't. I saw something in her. Now she lives in my estate, decoding my enemies while I watch her unravel under my hands. She thinks she's still independent. She thinks she's not mine. But every breath she takes in my world belongs to me. She is my greatest risk. My most valuable asset. My weakness. This is the first book in the A Throne So Feared Series.
