Dark, Violent, and Obsessive: They’ll Burn the World Down (And I Support It)
Rome and Katie, insert deep sigh. First of all, head the trigger warnings, things get violent. But also Kate-Bate is a badass. Another re-read because I simply didn’t get enough the first time around, these two will burn the world down and I think I fully support that. Rome and Katie are more crossover characters from the Stonewood series and will pop up again in later Shain Rose books.
Heart of a Monster
New Reign Mafia Duet #1
Rome Armanelli is supposed to be a monster—an enforcer for the strongest family in the Italian Mafia. Yet, when I saw him take a man’s life, he did it to save mine.
Since then, Rome doesn’t want me anywhere near him. Sparks may fly when we’re in the same room, but his famiglia is all he cares about.
He tells me to leave, but he, of all people, should know—the Mafia doesn’t let anyone go. Blood, ties, and partnerships sink their claws in. And when we find out exactly why his family kept me around, there’s no turning back.
I have to trust someone to survive now. So, I choose him, the man with a stare as cold as ice but a touch that sets me on fire.
I’m about to hand my heart to a monster. Let’s see if he’ll rip it apart.

Love of a Queen
New Reign Mafia Duet #2
They said I deserved the monster’s wrath…
And they were right.
I’m the traitor and the villain in my own story.
When I walked away from the Armanelli Family, I broke the oath that bound me to them.
By blood, I now belong to the enemy.
I’ll inherit billions and solidify alliances where no one else can.
But, by love, I still belong to Rome.
The underboss of the Italian Mob.
And every time I see him, he glares at me with indecisiveness, like he wants to stand beside me, but also rip me apart.
The twisted part in me yearns for him to do both.
He is the one obstacle I must overcome.
Because he has a piece of my heart that I have to learn to live without.
Yet, can the monster in him leave me behind too?
There’s an undeniable tie that will always tether us, and I don’t think he can ignore the pull.
He’s the monster after all.
And the monster always comes for what’s his.
