Release Blitz: King of Mercy by Aleia Kane

 


King of Mercy by Aleia Kane is now live!


Freedom from my abusive ex-husband and mafia family came at a devastating price. I owed a debt to the New York mafia, and now they've come to collect--with interest.

 

I foolishly thought I could rebuild my life in Columbus away from the mafia world I was born into. Then Sebastian King crashed into my world--forty-five, devastatingly gorgeous, and more dangerous than any man I've ever known. He's a billionaire nightclub owner with ties to the mafia underworld, a tormented soul who treats me like I'm both his deepest craving and his worst nightmare.

 

We're enemies who can't keep our hands off each other. Sebastian publicly declares his hatred while he privately worships at my altar. Every encounter is a battle for dominance, a game of cat and mouse where I'm never sure if I'm predator or prey. He claims my body with possessive intensity while swearing I mean nothing. I match his cruelty word for word, hiding my heart behind sharp wit and designer scarves.

 

Then my past catches up with us both.

 

When my ex-husband reappears in Columbus, Sebastian's possessive nature explodes. Suddenly I'm living in his penthouse, under his protection, while he glares at anyone who dares look my way. When mafia forces trap us both, our worst nightmare becomes reality--a forced marriage ceremony with loaded guns instead of witnesses.

 

Now we're bound on paper, trapped in forced proximity, and Sebastian's cold indifference is crumbling. The morally gray man who swore he'd never care for anyone is on his knees, groveling for my forgiveness, vowing to earn my trust.

And I'm caught between desire and self-preservation.

 

His "touch-her-and-die" energy terrifies his enemies, but it's his vulnerability that terrifies me. He calls me his dark angel and promises forever, but how can I trust a man who already shattered my heart?

 

In this world of organized crime and deadly bargains, love might be the most dangerous game of all.

 

I thought escaping my gilded cage meant freedom. Then Sebastian King claimed me, body and soul, trapping me all over again.
