Publisher Description
Kings of Sin meets Things We Left Behind in a gritty, heated romance from New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg.
Holden
They thought they’d managed to get rid of me once and for all. They thought I’d just forget what they did to my brother.
But I’m going to make sure that they never forget.
If only I can stop thinking about her.
Rowan
No one sees me. Behind my brother, I’m a ghost, managing the family business that he claims to run. But I’m tired of second fiddle. I’m tired of pretending. I’m going to take what’s mine.
The only problem? Well, he just came back to town.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Bromberg (the Driven series) opens her Tangled Hearts series with a sexy contemporary about corporate espionage and revenge. Rowan Rothschild was never the demure debutant her parents wanted; that role was played by her late twin, Cassie. Rowan, on the other hand, has a mind for business and wants to make a name for herself at TinSpirits, the liquor company that's been in her family for generations. But as vice president of marketing, all she can do is watch as her incompetent and condescending brother, Rhett, the current CEO, drives the business into the ground. Things get so bad that Rhett brings in wealthy Holden Knight to buy them out. Unbeknownst to the Rothschilds, Holden was once a server at the country club where they were members—and where Rhett and his cronies treated him like dirt. Their actions contributed to the death of Holden's younger brother, Mason, and now Holden's out for revenge—and he doesn't care who he has to hurt to get it. Rowan and Holden have red-hot chemistry, and the eventual sex scenes do not disappoint. Bromberg drills down into the psyche of each character just enough to keep readers hooked. The taut plot and tantalizing cliff-hanger will have readers eagerly anticipating the next installment.
Customer Reviews
A sexy enemies to lovers with grit
This 5-star read grabbed me right from the first chapter, when Rowan Rothchild meets a mysterious man at a fundraiser, setting the tone between the two of them with sexy banter. But that flirtation turns to hate when she finds out that Holden Knight has purchased controlling interest in her family’s business. I when I say hate, it’s serious hate.
This is the first book in a duet so there is a cliffhanger. I’ve read a good handful of Bromberg books, but this one has a different tone. There’s a deeper story she is weaving here and I love the time she’s taking to tell it over 2 books. From the beginning, I really disliked Holden. SERIOUSLY disliked him. And with Rowans hate for him I wondered how long it would take to make me to like him. These two have a LOT to get through before there’s an HEA. But who’s to say hate sex can’t be steamy and sexy. So, 2 books are definitely needed here.
Rowan has always taken a back seat to her brother’s old boy network ways with the company. He’s never appreciated her talent and puts her in her in her place with that condescending “Don’t worry your pretty little head, darlin’” attitude. But Holden pushes her buttons to get her to realize that she’s been a doormat when it comes to stepping into her power with the company. That’s a tough pill to swallow when she realizes it. Holden, on the other side, is driven by revenge and guilt from his past. And as the book progresses, we get snippets of what’s driving him. But can he step out of his narrowed focused rage to see the potential collateral damage around him? There are so many layers to this man and I can’t wait to discover them all. This is what’s so great about Bromberg’s books. Her characters truly go through tough growing pains and life lessons and I love experiencing that with them.
The way Bromberg writes this push pull between them is masterful. It’s a cat and mouse game with Holdens sexy words wooing her to fall for him, Rowan’s spunkiness when it’s least expected, their back-and-forth banter. I was all for it. And when they finally came together it was super sexy.
Book 2 can’t come fast enough. Another winner by Bromberg.
