The Fire We Make (King Mafia Family Saga #1)

Joy Thibodeaux was raised to be the perfect cartel princess—intelligent and ruthless. From childhood, she was molded into a pretty weapon meant to help her father rebuild his empire and rule at his side.

But when her violence stops being an asset and starts becoming a liability, Joy is cast out and forced to bury the very parts of herself she was trained to embrace. Now she’s on a mission to prove she’s still worthy—of power, of belonging, of love.

Until she meets him.

Adonis “Ace” is the heir to the King Mafia Family—feared, calculated, and untouchable. Beneath the tailored suits and law degree is a man shaped by violence and built for power, who has never needed love… only loyalty.

Until he meets her.

When their paths tangle, they recognize a darkness in each other that doesn’t scare them, it calls to them, and two lonely souls discover a love forged by fire—one that makes them more dangerous together than they were apart.
