How Thorns Rise: Dark Mafia Romance

Ace

The thorns that ensnare me are of my own making.

 For years, I've cultivated a kingdom of blood and violence as the ruthless Don of the Kholodov Mafia. But the moment I laid eyes on Iris, my delicate flower, everything changed. She is the light that threatens to expose the darkness within me, a weakness my enemies will stop at nothing to exploit. When Iris is stolen from my arms, the rage that consumes me knows no bounds. I will track down every last soul responsible and make them drown in their own blood. No one will ever hurt my beloved bloom again. For Iris, I will burn this world to ash.

Iris

Ace Kholodov is a dangerous man, a dark rose whose thorns have drawn the blood of countless. When I was taken from him, subjected to unimaginable horrors, I thought I'd lost him forever. But the fierce protectiveness that burns in his gaze tells me otherwise. He will stop at nothing to track down those responsible, to make them suffer as I have. I believe in him. 

For in the thorns of this cursed life, our love may be the only rose that blooms.
