Heartless King

From New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a sizzling dark age-gap Mafia romance . . .

Sofia

Our marriage only had one rule - never fall in love with your spouse.

Easy. Luca Ferrante doesn't have a heart to give, and mine has nothing left in it but revenge.

Once upon a time, we swore we'd sabotage our parents' arrangement to marry us.

But then Luca changed his mind.

I begged him to set me free.

He locked me in a gilded cage instead.

Now, I spend my days shaking the bars until I break free.

When I push, he pulls.

When he breaks, I shatter.

His family destroyed mine, so I'm going to burn the Camorra to the ground or die trying.

Luca Ferrante was built for war.

And I'm the only battle he'll lose.

Luca

She's my finest business decision, and I don't make bad ones.

Sofia Ferrante is lethal with a weapon, gentle with children, and full of secrets she thinks I haven't found.

The fact that she doesn't want me? Nothing but a mild inconvenience.

I started a war to keep her.

And I'll do so much worse to win her over.

If she wants to set the underworld on fire for vengeance, then I'd gladly hand her the match.

Anything for my lovely little monster.
