Syndicates

Violet: Nothing wrecks an already bad day faster than almost getting hit by a car. But then he rescued me. My mysterious, sexy savior wore danger as easily as he wore his black-on-black clothes. And still, I wasn't afraid of him. I should've been. Because after one misunderstanding, the man I thought would love me forever showed me just how ruthless and cold he really is. I trusted him with my heart once and it broke me. I can't afford to make that mistake again . . . Hoka: She was my ikigai-my life purpose. Loving her was inevitable. But I'm king of the Japanese mafia. Softness like hers doesn't exist in my world. Maybe that's why it was so easy for me to believe she betrayed me. Why I burned us to the ground. Now that I know the truth, I'll do anything to get her back. I know a good man would let her go. But I'm not a good man . . . Contains mature themes.

Lily: Turns out, the rumors about my ruthless boss were true. He's mafia. And I just witnessed something that could ruin his life . . . and mine. So, imagine my surprise when instead of killing me, he kidnaps me. Now, I'm on a secluded island with a man who should terrify me. But he doesn't. Because he's different here. Here, I see a man so beautifully broken I'm starting to feel things I know I shouldn't. He stole my freedom . . . I can't let him steal my heart too. Alessandro: If anyone else had witnessed what she did, they'd be dead. But when the time came to pull the trigger, I couldn't do it. So, I made her my captive. I know that sharing this place with her, letting her know my dark secrets, gives her too much power-and I can't afford another weakness. Letting her live threatens everything. Contains mature themes.

They're on an emotional collision course that can only end in happily ever after, or utter devastation . . . Iris: I see the world through statistics. Logic and routine. That's what keeps me sane. Killian Doyle is my polar opposite. His merciless, passionate nature terrifies me. He kidnapped me to force his brother, my friend, out of hiding and back into the mafia. He says he'll let me go when he doesn't need me anymore. I understand what he wants. The only real question is what I want from him. Because right now, I'm confused enough to think I want him to keep me forever . . . Killian: She was collateral. My brother betrayed our family, and I intended to hold her captive until he did my bidding. I never imagined I'd want her like I do. I know I should keep my word and let her go when the time comes. But I can't. I'm a collector of rarities and Iris is the rarest one of all. Because she's threatening to capture something I swore I'd never let anyone touch. My heart . . . Contains mature themes.
