King's Trace Antiheroes series by Sav R. Miller

Surrender 

 

King’s Trace is run by ruthless criminals, but this made man is no match for a woman scorned.

Caroline

The men in my life think I owe them.

My father, his associates, the mafia. Everyone has a debt to collect, and somehow that burden falls to me.

I’m being forced into a loveless marriage to pay off my father’s debts when the capo of the Montalto outfit intervenes with an offer I can’t refuse: his hand in exchange for protection.

But I’m not the one who needs protecting.

Elia

The men in my life value loyalty to our family over everything.

I’m supposed to, but my dark heart has a mind of its own.

My offer to marry Caroline is half-hearted; I set my eyes on the beautiful nymph and want her for myself.

I want to use her. Break her.

Turns out, someone else beat me to it.

Now all I want is her heart.

Sweet Surrender is an enemies to lovers, marriage of convenience, dark, steamy, small town mafia romance. It includes violence, profanity, an alpha male, sexually explicit scenes, and an HEA. Due to adult themes and scenes, it is recommended for ages 18 and older.

 

 

Kieran

I’ve spent my life cultivating a certain perception.

Evil incarnate. Homicidal hermit.

Vicious.

Fear equals power, and power equals safety.

Keeps people at bay.

Except one, who dives in without knowing the depths of my waters.

She consumes me, an ocean of light I want to drown in.

Now I’m not sure how to let her go.

Juliet

I’ve spent most of my life cultivating a certain persona.

Town tart. Unhinged party girl.

Lonely.

Sex equals power, and power equals safety.

Keeps people from getting too close.

Except one, whose darkness ebbs around me, seeks to steal my soul.

He devours me, a monster I can’t seem to escape.

Now I’m not sure I even want to.

Fiona

I learned long ago that not all heroes wear capes.

Some don masks and armor to hide their battle scars.

Others are irreparably broken.

Princes without kingdoms.

Kings without crowns.

I tried to fix the hero of my story.

But I’m afraid I’ve only made things worse.

Boyd

I learned long ago that all people bleed evil.

Some don harsh wit and beauty to hide their truths.

Others are inescapably lost.

Princesses without castles.

Queens without subjects.

I tried to slay the evil in my story.

But I’m afraid some demons are permanent.
