Five dangerous men. One disaster-prone woman. One lonely mob princess. No limits on who gets to love whom. Romantasy meets dramedy when mafia and military collide in a supernatural world of Fey. No matter who tries to talk me down—or how—no part of me will let this pass, even if I’m breaking my own f*ck*ng rules as Don of the Haven Syndicates. I’m a cold, unfeeling, distant and hardened son of a b*tch, entirely used to the vultures circling simply because I was born a Moretti. My twelve-month-old son, on the other hand, doesn’t deserve this sh*t. I’m shaking, raging and ready to burn down the whole f*ck*ng city my great-grandfather built in retribution for the boy I didn’t even know existed until three weeks ago. “Cross Morgue. You kill ’em, we chill ’em,” a woman chirps in the darkest greeting ever delivered through the happiest customer-service voice I’ve ever heard. “D*mn, baby, I know you’re p*ss*d, but the cold-caller script? Really?” That's a normal greeting for her? On any other day, I might be curious. Maybe even impressed by the *ss-chewing it should be on social media it's so ludicrous. It’s not that day… At least, not until I hear what the woman says next. I still don’t know if this disaster waiting to happen should come with a name or a warning label. Only that our lives—and this city—will never be the same again. —Vince Moretti Dark. Queer. High heat. Slow burn. True-poly why choose. Four books. One eventual HEA.

Somewhere between the diamonds, the lies, and the secrets, I made the biggest mistake of my life. I fell for Lucas Crawford. My husband’s son.

They were already married for three years when Alpha Damian Zeus’s long-lost first love, Lily, returned bringing along a five-year-old pup. Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love." He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?" So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents. The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself." Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go. Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration." Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory. When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else." But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

As betrayal spreads through the packs and war threatens to expose them all, Mara must choose: trust the four men raised to destroy her, or sever their bond forever. Because the greatest danger isn’t loving her. It’s letting her remember who she truly is.

“You’re going to run on the count of three, Janice Cross,” He whisper. “And make sure you don’t let us find you.” “No… Lucian.” I moved my gaze to the men at either side of him, willing—begging them to say something. Help me. “Calder, please… Aiden…” Both turned their heads to the side. They couldn’t even look me in the eyes as they chose their brother. “One.” “Lucian…” “Two.” “I didn’t mean to.” “Three.” *** After losing the man she believed she would marry and her parents within a week, Janice just wants to care for her sick sister. She doesn’t want a man. She doesn’t want three men. But one night is enough to change her life and point her in a new direction. Aiden Grant. Calder Vaughn. Lucian Graves.
