Tempted By The Gang
(2026)(The first book in the All of Them, All Mine series)
A novel by Christin Wales
I didn’t mean to see the dock deal.
I didn’t mean to run.
And I definitely didn’t mean to end up in the orbit of the Ash Kings—four men who rule Gravesend like the city belongs to them.
Maybe it does.
Diesel is the silent one. The wall. The man who grabs my wrist and says breathe like it’s an order my body obeys.
Havoc is a grin with teeth—danger dressed as charm, temptation with a pulse.
Rook watches like he can read secrets off my skin, like my lies aren’t even worth the effort.
And Nico… Nico is control. Cold devotion. A king who doesn’t raise his voice because he never has to.
I’m not a criminal. I’m not built for gang wars and blood debts. I’m just a girl trying to keep my brother safe and my life from falling apart.
But the Vipers think I’m the key to something buried at the docks—something that can destroy them.
And now I’m the target.
The Ash Kings offer protection… but protection always has a price in Gravesend.
When the threats get closer, Nico gives me an option that feels like a sentence: a mark. A symbol that tells the city I’m untouchable.
They call it ownership.
I call it survival.
Because if I''m going to be marked, it’ll be on my terms.
And if I’m going to be wanted, I’ll be the one who decides how far it goes.
In a world where power is taken, I’m about to do the one thing nobody expects.
I’m going to choose.
Marked by the Gang is a dark reverse harem / why choose romance filled with danger, possessive protectors, intense chemistry, and a heroine who refuses to be anyone’s prize. If you love gang romance, dark contemporary romance, touch-her-and-die protectors, forced proximity, tattoos/marking, jealous tension, and found-family loyalty, you’re in the right place.
Note: This is a why choose romance—Ava doesn’t have to pick just one.
Genre: Romance
