Losing her a second time would end me.  \nStaying away has been pure torture, but there is nothing I wouldn’t do to keep her safe, even if it means she never remembers what we were to eachother. What we did to each other.  \nZara doesn’t remember me. A blessing and a curse—and when she proposes marriage, I don’t hesitate. I’ll take her any way I can get her. In my home, in my bed, in my arms. Mine, even if she doesn’t know it yet.  \nOur world is bloody. Our love story was never meant to survive it. But I will burn everything to rewrite our ending.  \nI’m the king of the underworld. For her, I’m just a man on his knees—obsessed, ruined, desperate to make her fall in love with me again.  \nNothing will stop me from keeping her. Not even her.  \nZara Monroe  \nTo strengthen my position in the underworld, I need a husband.  \nI knew choosing Vian Giancana was a mistake. He’s too dangerous. Too consuming. Too much of everything I shouldn’t want and everything I can’t stop thinking about.  \nOur marriage of convenience was supposed to be a transaction. Clean. Controlled. Instead, every moment we spend together unravels me a little more. His hands. His eyes on me like I’m already his. Like he’s been waiting.  \nI’m supposed to be in love with someone else.  \nBut my husband has no interest in sharing me—and, god help me, part of me doesn't want him to.  \nThen I find out the truth.  \nVian lied to me. Not a small lie. The kind that rewrites everything. In our world, betrayal is paid in blood.  \nIt’s war. And the underworld will burn—starting with my husband.  \nThis book is a dark romance. It includes adult language, graphic violence, explicit sexual scenes, and mature situations.  \nKing of Ashes is a full-length standalone.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nI loved her against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be.  \n—Charles Dickens  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nDEDICATION  \nOnce you’re his, there’s no going back. You can run. He will chase. You can hide. He will find you. You can push him away. He will claim you even harder. Again and again. There’s no escape, only surrender.
