BOOK BLURB
He’s a criminal—an abomination.
We’re wrong in every way.
If only I could’ve convinced my heart.
His lips whispered promises of all the stars in the sky.
I dreamt of a love that would last forever.
We were gorgeously young and desperate for one another.
But we’re star-crossed.
Fate had decided our course.
Leaving us to cling to each other as we crumbled to ash.
His need became possession.
My innocence turned jaded.
Our families declared war.
All that remained was hate.
But Calder was raised by wolves. The rules didn’t apply.
I was his until he said otherwise--for better or for worse.
Our love story’s bathed in crimson and drenched in bullets.
Because sometimes, Romeo comes with tattoos, guns, and a taste for blood.

Savagery. Sin. Depravity—these are my virtues.
My name is Dante Sovrano, head of the Chicago Mob.
I run this city. Everyone bows down to me.
With one exception.Sarah London.
The first night we met, I knew we shared the same appetites. She never said "Mercy" and all I said was "Good girl."
But the next time, Sarah stood up, looked me in the eye, and pulled the damn trigger.
It's funny, the moment I saw her, I knew she'd be trouble.
And definitely my brand—fiery, cutthroat, wrapped up in a lickable package.If anyone was made for me, it's this woman.
But dark secrets hide behind those gorgeous blue eyes.
Secrets she won't tell. I plan to know them all.
Trouble's found her.
And now Sarah knows she has to deal with the devil to solve her problems.
Too bad the devil always takes your soul.
And I'll be keeping it.
Whoever wants to hurt this woman has to get through me.
Because nobody ever touches what's mine.
Not if they want to keep their lives.
This depraved King is keeping his feisty queen. And I'll take down an entire city to do it.

Truth
"Intense. Sexy. Chemistry off the charts." -New York Times bestselling author, Kelly Elliott.
Dominic King is a man with secrets, mob affiliations, and a life unsuited for love. But what starts a one-night stand with a gorgeous bombshell named Drew, feels like it should become his forever.
Dominic
I'm ruthless, powerful, and unforgiving.
The kind of man that kills without remorse.
But the moment I see her, I want her, no matter the consequence.
It was supposed to be one night. No more.
That's what I told myself. It's what we agreed.
Then Drew walked away.
It felt like she'd ripped my heart from my chest. One I didn't even know it existed until she'd made it beat. I warned her not to walk away--that I'd never forgive her.
She wouldn't listened.
She should've known better.
If Drew wants my forgiveness. She'll have to earn it. I will own her body and soul. Consume her until she begs. Because every King needs his queen.
And Drew Matthews is mine.
USA Today Bestselling author, Trilina Pucci, brings you and hot, fast-paced mafia romance with an instant connection between two flawed stubborn people that fight like hell to ignore their fate.

"There is "alpha"and then there is LUCA"-- Crazy Chaotic Book Babes
What do you do when all the wrong choices are the only ones that feel right?
You sin.
Luca King married out of responsibility. Out of duty. But once Gretchen Andrews crawls under his skin, all bets are off. Will she give in and be damned, or hold on and wait for heaven?
Luca
I'm a powerful man who's never refused. Not in my world.
Not until I met Gretchen.
She's brought me to my knees with every look. Makes me question every single truth I've believed. Gretchen's become a complication in the middle of a dangerous game.
Because while I'm trapped in a marriage of inconvenience, Gretchen's trapped in my thoughts.
I want what I shouldn't. A woman that a man like me doesn't deserve.
But Gretchen's the woman I never knew I needed. The only woman I want. My true equal.
I'm going to devour every single gorgeous part of her body until she whispers my name like a prayer. And strip away every doubt until she sees I'm the only one. We're a sin so explosive the fallout may be deadly. But it's worth the risk.
Because Gretchen Andrews has done the one thing no woman ever could

Vicious Little Snakes is LIVE!
"This series never fails to push your heart to its limit. Love is hard. Sometimes it will physically tear you apart. Caroline and Liam will test these theories. But a love like theirs was the reason why we believe that love conquers all. Liam was a boy who became a man, as we witnessed his taking control of his own destiny and finally laying it all on the line to get the girl. Caroline was fierce. She was strong, yet fragile. She shed her persona and became the woman she was meant to be. You’ll get consumed by this high school romance. Enjoy the ride and a drink or two because you are going to need it." - Keri Loves Books
Amazon Universal Link: mybook.to/Viciouslittlesnakes
Caroline Whitmore is cunning, inconsiderate, and ruthless.
Despite that, I can’t recall a day when I haven’t thought about her at least once. On paper, we’re a perfect match—Only on paper.
In real life, we’re a disaster.
She hates me. Hates the way I dress—everything I say.
My basic existence.
But what I hate is more complicated.
Because I’m a moth to a gorgeous, petite, brunette flame.
I hate that I still remember what she wore the day we sat together in sixth grade.
And that I would move mountains for her smile.
I hate every guy that gets too close.
And that one of them gets to stay.
I hate that I want her so bad that I used my best friend to make her jealous.
But most of all, I hate that Caroline Whitmore is the one that got away.

“Carebear.”
His lips barely move as his eyes drag down the front of my body.
“Don’t call me that.”
The words fly from my mouth out of habit, but I don’t mean them. Doesn’t matter, though, because Liam’s grin gives away just how much he likes my bite.
One of his arms drapes over the back of my chair, as he stares at me, dragging his thumb slowly across his bottom lip.
“Mmm, say please and maybe I’ll consider it.”
If the devil had a brand, it would be Liam. And I would wait in line for it—in the rain. The tip of his tongue runs over a sliver of his side teeth that peek from behind his grin. This must be what little red riding hood felt like—except I want to be eaten by this wolf. And with that thought, I need to get out of here.
“I’m going to the ladies' room.”
My statement is left in the middle of the room as I push from the table and walk away, picking up a tiny bit of speed once I’m out of sight. The bathroom door closes behind me as I let out a whoosh, only to scrunch my nose looking at the dirty one-room stall. So gross.
But desperate times and all.
God, I felt knocked stupid. He smiled, and my knees got weak—while I was fucking sitting down. I’m disgusting.
My head drops to look at my pussy. “Weak bitch. Get it together.”
We should’ve never fucked that night. It was quite possibly the worst way to say goodbye. Even when we do the right thing, we end up doing the wrong one. We’re doomed.
But what is he doing, being all fuck-boy attractive toward me?
My hands stay glued to my side, careful not to touch anything as I walk to the cloudy mirror, checking my lipstick and hair and allowing myself to gather the self-respect I need to go back out and slay without being slayed.
The longer I stand here, though, the more my thoughts drift back to the bedroom and then to the feel of Liam's hand on my waist. And to the way he chews on those toothpicks. My eyes close as my back arches. Ooo, I bet he’s good with his tongue.
For fuck’s sake. It’s like I’m in heat.
I tear open my eyes, ripping off a rough paper towel from the dented silver machine on the wall, and turn around, walking the few steps back to the door, using the paper to cover the handle. The music instantly smacks me in the face as I open the door and step out into the dark hallway, heading back the way I came.
Without warning, I’m yanked backward, a squeal escaping my lips as I’m spun around, meeting Liam’s green hazel eyes. My hands grip his biceps as I stand scowling.
“What the fuck?”
Both of his hands are on my waist, except this time, they're affixed to my skin. It’s sending goosebumps up and over my body. Liam looks down at me, a toothpick laying on his bottom lip. I’m so fucked. He feels electric, lighting up all my senses.
Coupled with the music and the shadows, it’s as if we’re standing on the cliff’s edge. Push me over, Liam.
“I had to say goodbye, Carebear. Wouldn’t want to be rude and all.”
Jesus, he’s heavy on the asterisk right now.
“So now you remember your manners? I guess it’s better late than never.”
One hand leaves me as his fingers pull the toothpick, and I can’t help but notice his nails are painted.
“Your nails are black? New look?”
I’m not complaining. It’s hot. Liam gives me that—sexy charmer, with enough bad-boy you can’t catch your breath—smirk, and I’m wet.
“It’s paint and all over my hand.” His eyes dart to my mouth then back to my eyes, “By the way, I liked your name on my lips too.”
I can count the number of blinks I make because my whole body stops functioning. Liam steals his other hand back, bringing it up to push my hair over my shoulder.
“You should go back to the table. It’s dark in these halls, strangers everywhere. Wouldn’t want someone taking advantage of you in the shadows, Carebear.”
There’s that grin again. Liam looks down at his phone, and then back to me.
“I have to go.”
I’m frowning. Stop it, Caroline.
“Where?”
Liam offers no answer, just boops my nose. “I like your shirt. But I hate that other people get to see you in it.”
God help me if my lips don’t tip up in the face of his honesty. This version of Liam is dangerous, and I haven’t seen him in a while. Welcome back.
He jerks his chin to whoever’s behind me. “Make sure she makes it back to the table safely. This crowd isn’t allowed near something, so—” his face dips closer to mine, “—pristine.”
Asterisks are exploding like fucking fireworks.
Liam turns and walks out the back way, through a door I didn’t know was there. I spin around, flushed, dumbstruck, to see Kai behind me, accessorized with a frown.
“You’re playing with fire Caroline.”
Jesus, he’s so CW drama serious.
“Oh, am I?” I mock, “I’m playing with fire. Why? Because Liam’s so hot—is that what that cliché means? Do you wish you could play with fire, Kai, maybe blow smoke up his—”
Kai’s hand clamps over my mouth. “Wretched whore. Say less.”
I shove him off, raising my shoulders in a little dance. “Calm down. I’m not playing with anything, including Liam’s dick. But like—Fuck. Me. How much did you witness?”
Kai reaches for my hand. “Enough to know why you’re blushing. Come on, let’s do as daddy says.”
My eyes squeeze closed as I grin at the way he says, daddy—because, hell yes.

“Carebear.”
His lips barely move as his eyes drag down the front of my body.
“Don’t call me that.”
The words fly from my mouth out of habit, but I don’t mean them. Doesn’t matter, though, because Liam’s grin gives away just how much he likes my bite.
One of his arms drapes over the back of my chair, as he stares at me, dragging his thumb slowly across his bottom lip.
“Mmm, say please and maybe I’ll consider it.”
If the devil had a brand, it would be Liam. And I would wait in line for it—in the rain. The tip of his tongue runs over a sliver of his side teeth that peek from behind his grin. This must be what little red riding hood felt like—except I want to be eaten by this wolf. And with that thought, I need to get out of here.
“I’m going to the ladies' room.”
My statement is left in the middle of the room as I push from the table and walk away, picking up a tiny bit of speed once I’m out of sight. The bathroom door closes behind me as I let out a whoosh, only to scrunch my nose looking at the dirty one-room stall. So gross.
But desperate times and all.
God, I felt knocked stupid. He smiled, and my knees got weak—while I was fucking sitting down. I’m disgusting.
My head drops to look at my pussy. “Weak bitch. Get it together.”
We should’ve never fucked that night. It was quite possibly the worst way to say goodbye. Even when we do the right thing, we end up doing the wrong one. We’re doomed.
But what is he doing, being all fuck-boy attractive toward me?
My hands stay glued to my side, careful not to touch anything as I walk to the cloudy mirror, checking my lipstick and hair and allowing myself to gather the self-respect I need to go back out and slay without being slayed.
The longer I stand here, though, the more my thoughts drift back to the bedroom and then to the feel of Liam's hand on my waist. And to the way he chews on those toothpicks. My eyes close as my back arches. Ooo, I bet he’s good with his tongue.
For fuck’s sake. It’s like I’m in heat.
I tear open my eyes, ripping off a rough paper towel from the dented silver machine on the wall, and turn around, walking the few steps back to the door, using the paper to cover the handle. The music instantly smacks me in the face as I open the door and step out into the dark hallway, heading back the way I came.
Without warning, I’m yanked backward, a squeal escaping my lips as I’m spun around, meeting Liam’s green hazel eyes. My hands grip his biceps as I stand scowling.
“What the fuck?”
Both of his hands are on my waist, except this time, they're affixed to my skin. It’s sending goosebumps up and over my body. Liam looks down at me, a toothpick laying on his bottom lip. I’m so fucked. He feels electric, lighting up all my senses.
Coupled with the music and the shadows, it’s as if we’re standing on the cliff’s edge. Push me over, Liam.
“I had to say goodbye, Carebear. Wouldn’t want to be rude and all.”
Jesus, he’s heavy on the asterisk right now.
“So now you remember your manners? I guess it’s better late than never.”
One hand leaves me as his fingers pull the toothpick, and I can’t help but notice his nails are painted.
“Your nails are black? New look?”
I’m not complaining. It’s hot. Liam gives me that—sexy charmer, with enough bad-boy you can’t catch your breath—smirk, and I’m wet.
“It’s paint and all over my hand.” His eyes dart to my mouth then back to my eyes, “By the way, I liked your name on my lips too.”
