Dangerous Intent is the explosive debut novel in the Blood and Lust West Coast Syndicate series by Tonya Anders—a dark, arranged-marriage mafia romance crackling with sharp-tongued heroines, ruthless men, and a loyalty powerful enough to destroy empires.
When bloodlines dictate fate, and empires are built on betrayal, love isn’t a weakness—it’s the most dangerous weapon of all.
Journey Highland has never bowed to a man, let alone been used as a bargaining chip. Born into one of the most feared crime families on the West Coast, she was raised to lead, not follow. So when she's ordered to marry Tahir Ezekiel "Zeke" Parish—the cold-blooded heir of the Parish Syndicate—she makes one thing clear––she may be promised, but she is no man’s possession.
Zeke Parish doesn’t bend. He commands. Calculated and unflinching, he's spent his life learning to control everything—until Journey crashes into his world with a mouth full of venom and fire in her eyes. She’s not afraid of him. Worse—she sees right through him. What starts as a war of wills ignites into something darker. Obsession. Devotion. Blood-soaked passion.
But their union is more than just strategic—it’s a target. When long-buried secrets surface and enemies strike from within, Zeke and Journey must decide whether their bond is strong enough to survive betrayal or whether their love will burn the empire they’ve sworn to protect to the ground.
In this world, loyalty is currency, power is survival—and love might be the deadliest gamble of all.
Author Note: This is a African American Romantic Suspense multibook romance that is a part of a larger interconnected series of books. Reader’s discretion is advised.
Genre: Romantic Suspense
