The Bastard King

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

The Bastard King is a dark, seductive mafia romance packed with power, obsession, danger—and a love that defies the rules.

He was born in the shadows. Raised by a criminal. Forged by pain.

Diogo isn't just a man—he's a myth. Ruthless, feared, and untouchable, he controls one of the most powerful criminal empires in the country. To the world, he's a brilliant young CEO. To those beneath him, he's the king. And though he treats women with respect, no one dares get too close... because if you cross him, there's no going back.

Elena never planned to be dragged into the underworld. But one wrong move, one scam too many, and she finds herself with no escape—stripped of her dreams, dancing for survival, and handed over as a gift to the cold, magnetic king of the mafia.

She's fire. He's ice.
And once he lays eyes on her, she becomes his.

But Elena is no one's pawn. What starts as a forced arrangement ignites into a dangerous obsession—one that could burn their worlds to the ground.
