A King So Dark: Dark Mafia Romance

ROSALIE

They took him.

Dragged the king of the city into a black hole and left me standing in the wreckage of his empire. They expected panic. Collapse. A grieving and desperate woman.

Instead, I sat in his chair.

I froze accounts. I recruited more men. I declared war.

The Ghost Ledger doesn't answer to bloodlines or brute strength.

It answers to numbers. And I am the only one who speaks its language. Everyone who once doubted me gets richer under my command. Every enemy who touches our money disappears.

They think I'm protecting his throne.

They don't understand.

Halloway wants to break him. The Council wants to replace him. But I'm tracing every shell company, every covert transfer, every hidden bunker. I'm not waiting to be rescued.

When Tristan comes back, he won't find a frightened accountant.

He'll find a woman who learned how to rule in his absence.

And when the king returns to his kingdom of smoke and blood. . .

He'll have to decide whether to accept that I don't kneel anymore, and rule beside me. . .

Or to kill me once and for all.

TRISTAN

Sensory deprivation. Psychological warfare. Lies about Rosalie's death.

They thought that would break me.

They underestimated obsession.

I don't survive because I'm strong. I survive because I refuse to lose what's mine. And Rosalie Cross is not a pawn, not collateral, not a bargaining chip anymore.

She is the most dangerous decision I ever made though; I'll give her that.

While they torture me, she is outside wearing my power. I can feel it. The shifts in the market. People falling back into line.

She didn't run.

She ruled.

When I finally tear my way out of this cage, I won't be reclaiming a broken empire. I'll be stepping into a battlefield she's already set on fire.

They wanted to expose my weakness.

Instead, they created a monster with my last name etched into her bones.

The city will learn something very quickly-

A king alone is dangerous.

A king and queen bound by obsession?

Unstoppable.
