A novel by

 
 
My father is dead. My empire is in ashes. And Kier Ashford, the ruthless mafia king who helped burn it all down, is the only man who can protect me.

He found me. Broke. Alone. Thirsting for vengeance. And he made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

I was a queen. Now, I'm his prisoner. A pawn in his brutal game. He’s forced me into his penthouse, a gilded cage where he watches my every move. He wants to own me, to break me, to force my submission and claim my loyalty.

But this dark, damaged monster doesn't want my obedience. He wants my mind.

He demands my submission, but I’ll only give him war. He demands my surrender, but I'll only give him my blade.

This was supposed to be a simple, dark arranged marriage of convenience. A strategic alliance to stop a war. But the nights are long, and the line between hatred and obsession is thin. Our forced proximity is a fire, and his touch is a temptation I never saw coming.

He's a brutal king, and I'm his vengeful queen.

But there's a ghost pulling our strings—a conspiracy bigger than both our families. We were enemies, but now we must become partners. To survive, this monster is asking for more than my submission. He's asking for my trust.

And my heart.

Pain & Pleasure is a full-length, standalone Dark Mafia Romance with a guaranteed HEA. This spicy enemies-to-lovers novel is packed with forced marriage, forced proximity, and romantic suspense. If you love a damaged alpha hero, a smart and powerful heroine, and a story of vengeance that burns into a fiery obsession, you will love Kier and Isla's story.
