Internationally Bestselling author Lucy Monroe offers a new spicy romance in her mafia world, a gripping story of loyalty, legacy, and the brutal cost of power. Blood contracts can't be broken, except by spilling more blood. KARA Six years ago, I fought to end my marriage. Now I’m fighting to protect everything it has become. Mick is still my beloved sociopath and Fitz is a mob boss in training, who watches over his younger brother and sisters with his dad's ruthlessness and my compassion. But someone doesn't want my husband to be underboss anymore, much less the next boss. Whispers are growing that the Shaughnessy Mob should be led by Shaughnessy blood. They think I’ll stand back and let them threaten the man whose soul is entwined with mine, to try to take what’s ours. They don’t know me at all. MICK I didn’t inherit my role as underboss. I offered up my life and signed a contract in blood for it. Before I knew how much I would have to lose without it. But the best way to safeguard what matters most is from a position of power and that means mine has to be absolute. Because no one will stop me from protecting what's mine, the only four people in the world I have any genuine feeling for: my wife and our children. But someone thinks they can take it all from me. Not. Going. To. Happen. Because anyone who comes for my throne isn’t just challenging my rule. They’re threatening Fitz's future and the safety of our family. And that comes with a death sentence I'm only too happy to carry out.Note from author: While this is a standalone mafia romance with a guaranteed HEA, there is no doubt it will be a more satisfying read if you have already read the first two books in the Syndicate Sins series, Sins of Arrogance and Sins of Innocence. Content Warning: on the page violence, foul language, mention of attempted SA (minor to minor), and explicit spice on the page.
