The monarch of Manhattan has met his match, but will he lose his crown...

This is enemies-to-lovers romance at its most ruthless.

I am a corrupt king, ruling a sinful empire. 

I wasn’t born to the crown.

Nevertheless, I wear it well.

Aislinn Granville is the Crown Jewel of my empire—my queen. 

To my enemies, she’s my Achilles heel—a perfect pawn. 

Without her, I am a wounded warrior. 

A ruthless, relentless beast.

There is nowhere she can be taken that I won’t find her.

No adversary I won’t crush to get her back.

Even if I have to burn this city to the ground.
