From award-winning author, Emily A. Myers, comes a standalone, full-length Mafia Romance novel.

Alister Amato is rich, powerful, and feared by all who know the truth. He’s the Blood King, a mafia boss with a lust for blood and an infinite reach. Everything in me screams I should stay away. But when my Organized Crime Task Force is called to investigate the slaughter of a rival criminal syndicate, I know that isn’t an option. The way the men were killed is something I’ve only seen once before—eighteen years ago when my mother was murdered and I was orphaned. I don’t know how my mother wound up in the clutches of the mafia. But, after all this time, I will stop at nothing to discover the truth. Even if it means aligning myself with the dangerous, mysterious, and undeniably handsome, Blood King.

They call me King, but I am nothing but a prisoner. The world of darkness I belong to has stolen everything from me—my mother, my sister, my happiness, my freedom. Most of all, it has stolen my ability to love. If it weren’t for my sister, Sophia, I would walk away from the throne I never wanted and let New Orleans burn. But even that would not set me free. My name and my blood have placed a target on my back and cursed anyone who stands beside me to the same fate. Which is why when FBI agent Ariana Valentine weasels her way into my life and heart, I do everything I can not to fall for her. My love is a death sentence. And, after everything this world has taken from me, I won’t let it take her too. Even if it means I have to walk away from the only woman I’ve ever allowed myself to love.

EXCERPT:
From Ariana’s POV:

“No, no.” I giggle as he stalks toward me with glistening chiseled abs and hair the color of midnight. “I submit. I submit,” I squeal as Alister reaches me. But that doesn’t stop him from wrapping his arms around my body and pulling me against his chest. As he holds me, I can feel the hardness of his chest, the strength of his muscles, the beat of his heart. His entire being cradles me, making me feel safe despite my vulnerable position. “I submit,” I whisper once more as his dark eyes stare into mine.

“Smart girl.” Though he’s acknowledged my defeat, he does not let me go. That is, until a rumble of thunder and snap of lightning pulls us both back to reality—the one where I’m the FBI agent who despise the monster within him and he’s the Mafia king who hides his true nature behind expensive suits and legitimate business ventures.

“We should probably go inside, unless the final act of this date is me being barbecued by a lightning bolt."
