Cleo Harper has built a career out of finding the truth behind closed doors. She's good at it. She's careful. She does not, as a rule, end up inside the estate of the most powerful man in the Sicilian Cosa Nostra, investigating a story that could get her killed.
And yet.
Salvatore Conti has held his empire together through control, silence, and the particular authority of a man who has never once been surprised. He is not surprised by much. Until Cleo.
She asks the wrong questions. She finds the wrong things. She laughs at the wrong moments and refuses to perform fear when he expects it. And he — despite every intention — starts looking for reasons to keep her there.
King of Ruin is a dark Sicilian mafia romance about a man who built his world on control and the woman who walks into the middle of it with a recording device and absolutely no self-preservation. Explicit content. Enemies to lovers. She didn't expect to stay. He didn't expect to ask her to.
Guaranteed HEA. Part of The Cosa Nostra Crown Series — each book is standalone.
