Kick-ass assassin. Deadly drug lord. It's a match made in hell.

Nyx Gray

Bryan Domingo wasn't the first person I've been paid to assassinate.

But he was my first failure.

I'd been staking out the Dom of the Colombian cartel for weeks.

Everything was lined up perfectly...until the heir to his empire walked in.

Deadly, fierce, and hot as hell, Caesar 'Savage' Domingo ruined everything with one look.

Now I'm his captive until he decides what he wants to do with me.

For now, it seems tormenting me and treating me like his toy are his only interests.

There's no way he'll let me escape now that I'm his.

But even if I could...would I want to? He's as vicious and brutal as his namesake. But I'm drawn to him, like a moth to a flame.

Lines are blurring.

Rules are being broken.

If we're not careful, we'll both get burned.

Savage Hero is the first book in the Crime Family Affair Series, a dark cartel romance series. This book ends on a cliffhanger and contains scenes of graphic violence, murder, and other mature content.

BLURB

"Wrong never felt so right."

Morgan Cantrell is a survivor. After running away from an abusive husband, he’s finally divorced and starting over, but it’s hard. Of course he doesn’t mean to set off the smoke detectors in the building or short out the electricity in his apartment. Mistakes happen. The last thing he wants is to draw the attention of his growly, moody-ass super. Every time they meet, it’s like oil and water—they just don’t mix.

Leo DeLuca learned at an early age that the people who are supposed to love you only hurt you. He’s happy to keep to himself, but the walking disaster of a new tenant in 5C won’t stop getting in his way and into his business. They can’t even speak to each other without arguing, but Leo has to admit—it’s kind of a turn on. That must be the reason why he can’t stop thinking about the guy in 5C. Or wanting to touch him. But hell, no. That would be a mistake.

One kiss leads to an explosive night both men fight to forget—after all, Leo has nothing in common with the sweet kindergarten teacher while Morgan is looking for a happily ever after he knows Leo can’t give. Yet it’s Morgan who Leo leans on to help deal with his painful past, and Leo is the key to unlocking Morgan’s inner strength.

Trusting someone with your heart is never easy, but it might be the only way they discover that everything they think is wrong about each other, could be everything that's right.

Release Date: May 3, 2021

BLURB

For years I watched her. Drank her in as she performed in front of an empty theatre, pretending every seat was occupied, the cello settled between her legs as her dainty fingers made love to the strings…one beautiful note after the other.

She thought she was alone, that no one heard her play. But I did. I heard every note, every tune, every vibrato. It drowned out the voices. Silenced the demons. It gave me peace.

I’d hide in the shadows so I could get high on the music that stemmed from her soul. It was entrancing. Beautiful. Utterly hypnotic.

She has no idea that I exist—that I live for the nights she performs for me, and me alone. But she will.

Soon she’ll realize how important she is to me.

My cellist.

My soloist.

My Requiem.
