A Mafia princess on the run. A Bratva prince turned biker. Will their love start a war?
On the run from an arranged marriage, Tassa thought she’s found the perfect hide-out. After all, her eldest brother and head of her mafia family would never think to search for her in a club full of rough bikers. With her newfound freedom, the first thing on Tassa’s bucket list is to lose her virginity. The perfect specimen comes in the shape of a sexy biker with coal black hair and stunning turquoise eyes.
It’s just her rotten luck to have chosen a man with a possessive streak a mile wide.
After escaping from his Russian Bratva family, Whistle became the resident fuck-up of the Demon Squad MC. For years, he’s tested his brothers’ loyalty with his drunken antics and brawls. Finally ready to grow up, he’ll prove he’s turned a new leaf by taking over the Squad Bar. What he doesn’t expect is for the stutter in his heart when he lays eyes on their newest waitress and her sultry curves. While Tassa may have the kind of sexiness a man would lay his life down for, nothing prepares him for the innocence he discovers right beneath the surface.
As a former denizen of the shadowy mafia underworld, he knows that virgins like her came with rules.
Rule number one: If you break her, you keep her.
Whistle is more than ready to do right by Tassa, if only she played by the rules and did what she’s told. Instead, the little wild cat battles him tooth and nail her hard-fought independence. But as her brother zeroes in on her, what starts out as a fight for her love turns into a war to protect the woman he loves.
Will Tassa stop and stand by the man she loves or will she keep on running?

About Monique
Growing up in New York City, I used to walk the hot pavements in the melting heat of the long summers, and dream. Uptown to downtown, eastside to the westside, and underground to catch a subway racing out into the boroughs.
During my wanderings, my magic pencil spun out fantasies full of romance, with first meetings, heartbreaks, and reunions. Sometimes my boy crush (unrequited, of course) starred as the hero.
I grew up, and after a stint in art school, became a lawyer ‘cuz a woman’s got to make a living. I came from parents who fled to France as refugees, and as an attorney, I dedicated my work to helping survivors of trauma and persecution.
I believe in them. In their grit, in their determination to hold on, to pull through and, somehow, someway, to keep themselves intact, body and soul. Perhaps that is why I am drawn to writing stories of men and women who live through heart-rending pain, desperate yearnings and, ultimately, reach a place of redemption.
For a long time, I fought the urge to veer off the expected, safe path until I couldn’t go on unless I took a chance and made a change. I began to write, stopped, and began again. Finally, I gave in and here I am.
“Here we go again! Kansas brings us right back to Atlantic City and his book is INCREDIBLE!!!” – Goodreads reviewer
“Getting to read Kansas was mind blowing! …The Ruthless world that K.L. Savage has created is one I happily fall into with each story!” – Goodreads reviewer
“Holy Hell this is one book you won’t want to miss. Another amazing installment in the Ruthless Kings MC story, can’t wait for more!!!!” – Spunky N Sassy Book Blog
Instincts are all we have to rely on. And mine were spot on. There are a few things I don’t like to talk about in life. My father. And Kansas. I hate him, and I hate that godforsaken state. To this day, I haven’t loved because there’s a fear. An inkling. An instinct that I will be just like him. I convinced myself our blood was rotten, tainted, and sour. I believe I didn’t have the ability to be faithful or loyal. But then after a blizzard, a sailboat washed to shore. And she was there. She’s here at the clubhouse now. Violet Winston. A name that matches the fields of lavender of her eyes. I have no right to want her. I can’t love her. I’ll ruin her. The more I get to know her, the harder I fall. Usually, there’s a calm after the storm. But not this time. Between her father being a drug dealer. The drugs hidden in the boat. And the man that wants his drugs. We are about to feel the havoc of a hurricane. Truths hit us out of nowhere and they hurt worse than a lie ever did. Love tests us and rips us open. Friendships are lost. Loyalty is damned. I’m not in Kansas anymore. But Jersey hurts just the same.

Caterina Alfera
My Enemy
My Obsession
My Queen
I have left it all on the line for Caterina Alfera. She holds the keys to everything I have ever wanted. But would she do the unthinkable for me—the right thing?
If you like dark, steamy romance with a heavy dose of suspense and intense twists, then you’ll love Diana A. Hicks’s King of Beasts
Authors Note: King of Beasts is book two in the Beast Duet as part of the Crime Society World. It contains explicit scenes and bondage.
After a decade spent claiming a throne for himself in the seething violence of the criminal underbelly, all Donatello Vanici craves now is peace.
Only a union forged between his heir and the most powerful mafiya family in existence could ever be strong enough to end the bloodshed for good, but the Stepanov head resists his overtures at every turn…
Until tragedy strikes, and forces Donatello’s hand.
Haunted by a past that dogs her every thought, Willow Stepanov will do anything for the man who adopted her—until a chance encounter with the enemy lands her right in the middle of a dangerous power struggle and a war that grows more violent and vicious each day.
But it’s not just her future her captor holds hostage.
He is a man with nothing left to lose—while she may just lose everything.
Her life, her family, and her heart…
Mice and Men is a new standalone series in the War of Roses Universe.
Lana Sky is a quirky writer from the US who dabbles in dark,
paranormal and contemporary romance. Her stories aren’t always typical, but
contain a little something for everyone.
He was once known as Il Mostro, The Butcher among others, but he’s changed, and he lives his life on the straighter path now. He was once the head of the famiglia, but that didn’t protect him or his family and the day he lost them is the day his life changed forever. He lost everything that day and the days after were pure torture. Donatello Vanici had it all and lost it all. Now his life is making sure that his nephew Vincenzo finishes medical school and has a good life. The only problem is that he could lose Vincenzo too, and it would be the last straw for Donatello.
She wasn’t wanted by her parents. She survived an illness, but it left her mute and her parents saw her as damaged and a pawn. The day that she was taken to Donatello’s house and left was the day her life started to look up, but that changed after Donatello lost his family. He needed to hurt, so he decided to hurt Safiya by selling her at the age of 12. She only tasted a loving house and family for a short time until she was rescued by the Pakhan, Mescha Stepanov and once again her life has taken a turn for the better. The only problem is that Safiya is having a hard time accepting that it will last. The only way she can move on and accept her life with the Stepanov’s is to see the past dead and buried. She has changed her name, but her past won’t let her go. She is no longer Safiya Mangenello, she is now Willow Stepanova.
This story was dark, twisted, and brutal. Donatello was a man in charge until he lost everything and became a broken man that just wanted to live his life and protect his nephew. When he and Vin go a debutante ball for Willow Stepanova, Don finds his world crashing down on him once again and he could lose everything this time, including his mind. His fall won’t be of his own making in the end, but he will get vengeance on the man that has ruined so much of his life. This story ends on a cliff hanger and is full of action, twisted scenes, page turning suspense and great characters. I give this story a 5-star review and am now I am anxious for Shattered Throne to come out.
Melissa Harding has veered on the side of caution, always keeping her past locked up tight. Until one night she decided that she’d let loose. Which came at a cost. Getting pregnant was shocking enough, but marrying the head of the Irish Mafia was worse. Melissa hopes that she can keep her darkest secrets hidden. But her new husband has other ideas.
Danny Gallagher never had plans on settling down. His family doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to marriages. That is until his new bride’s secrets start to unravel, Danny realises that he’s finally met his match.
The darkness he has inside burns deep within her.
When enemies start to rise, Danny and Melissa find out just how perfectly matched they really are.
What happens when a traitor has plans to take Danny out?
Will the couple be able to find them before it’s too late?
The second my brother’s ex-best friend tore off my clothes, I was obsessed. His ripped muscles, seductive smirk, and bad boy charm made my knees weak and everything else tingle ever since we were teenagers. I always dreamed I’d become the center of his world. I guess I should have been more specific about my wish. He ruined me. Then my childhood crush kidnapped me. Now I’m a pawn in his vicious game.
He thinks he can use me as leverage, Revenge for my brother’s betrayal.
I should hate him for starting this war with my family and for taking my life. I don’t. I should resist my cravings for his rough touch, his hungry lips, and his sinful body. I can’t.
Because even though Roman Villani is evil and cold, a brutal monster who is incapable of love, It only makes me want him more.
All the riches this world has to offer belong to me. Whatever I want, I get. And those who stand in my way? They don’t live long enough to tell their tale.
I’m a villain thriving in darkness, who seeks no redemption. A hunter who sets his sight on an irresistible prey.
There is a monster reigning inside me who covets to stake his claim and drag her to his cave. A beautiful siren who ends up captured by a possessive beast and locked in his castle.
She will be my wife. No matter what I have to do in order to achieve it.
