King of Power (Club Velvet Petal #1)

One night at Club Velvet Petal was all it took to destroy everything Id built. Now, Im forced to marry the very man who ghosted me a year ago—a decision that could either save my life or end it.

As a SVU detective, Im used to putting criminals behind bars, not sleeping with them. But Ezekiel King isnt just any criminal. Hes a former mafia enforcer with a reputation that makes hardened men tremble. He claims this marriage will protect me from a local mafia lord who wants me dead, but I cant shake the feeling that Im trading one form of danger for another.

The worst part? My body betrays me every time hes near. His commanding presence and dominant nature awaken desires I thought Id buried long ago. Each heated glance, each possessive touch, reminds me of the passion we once shared—before he vanished without a trace.

But when the unthinkable happens, Im forced to confront the brutal reality of Zekes world. Now I must choose—maintain my integrity as a detective, or surrender to the darkness that surrounds him to save the only family I have left.

With rival mafia families closing in and threats lurking in every shadow, my heart and my badge are on opposite sides of a war I never wanted to fight.

In Zekes world, love isnt just dangerous—its deadly. And Im beginning to fear it might be exactly what I need to survive.

In this game of shadows, will love be enough to save us, or will it cost me everything?
