He owns the city. Now, he expects to own me.
Declan Cross is the apex predator of the underworld. He is cold, calculating, and governs his syndicate with absolute, unapologetic brutality. I was never supposed to be on his radar. I was just supposed to be collateral-a pawn shoved across the board to settle my father's insurmountable debt.
I expected to be locked in a cage. I expected a monster.
But the man holding my leash doesn't look at me like a prisoner. He looks at me like a kingdom he is absolutely obsessed with conquering. He is arrogant and ruthless, demanding absolute submission while giving me the power to bring his empire to its knees.
I should hate him. I should take the first opportunity to run. But every searing touch, every dark promise whispered in the dead of night, draws me deeper into his terrifying gravity.
Declan says I belong to him now. And heaven help me, I am starting to want him to keep me.
The Ruthless Boss is a standalone, high-heat dark mafia romance featuring a possessive, morally grey hero, forced proximity, and a guaranteed HEA. Contains mature themes.
