❝Two kings. One queen. A city painted in blood and desire.❞
Amara Black has fire in her veins and scars carved into her soul. When she dared to stand up to Killain—her possessive ex-lover, the ruthless kingpin of LA’s mafia—she said “no” to his suffocating control. For that rebellion, she landed behind bars… but prison isn’t an escape. It’s just another cage. Another battleground where survival means playing a game of teeth and claws.
Killain still wants her. Obsessed. Possessive. Unhinged. His love is a dark, twisted vice—all ironclad dominance, searing violence, and velvet-soft threats that cut deeper than blades. From beyond the prison walls, he floods her cell with letters soaked in obsession, his words a relentless reminder: You’re mine. You always will be. There’s no escaping the ghost of his touch, the echo of his rage, the truth that he’ll burn the world down to have her back.
But a new predator is circling.
The prison warden is devastatingly handsome. Dangerous. Commanding. He calls her “kitten,” toys with her fear like a cat playing with prey, and awakens something primal—something hungry—deep inside her. Later, she learns the truth: he’s Liam. Killain’s oldest, deadliest rival. The other mafia king of Los Angeles. The man who’s spent years waiting to tear Killain’s empire apart… and now, he wants Amara too.
Now Amara is the prize in a war between two powerful, deadly men. Both crave to claim her. One wants to chain her to his side, to possess every breath she takes. The other might love her… or ruin her completely.
And Amara?
She can’t trust her heart—beaten and broken by a love that turned to cruelty.
She can’t trust her body—thrilling at the very hands that threaten to destroy her.
All she wants is to survive… and maybe, just maybe, take back control of the game that’s been playing her.
But survival has a brutal price. And love? Love in the underworld demands something darker than blood.
“Look at me, kitten. Watch me while I take your mouth. If you break eye contact… I’ll make you beg for more. Beg for mercy. Beg to be mine.”
“Bend over,” I growl in her ear, her breath hitching—sharp, needy—at my command. She complies, her plump ass bared to me, and I strike it once, hard enough to leave a pink mark. Her moan is loud, unashamed, and her wetness drips down her thighs, a sweet, sinful invitation. “Good girl,” I rumble, nipping at her neck. “Don’t worry… I’ll be gentle this time. But next time? You’ll beg me to ruin you.”
