Malevolent King (Made of Mayhem Duet #1)
Mila Kane
He was a hot-blooded killer. A wise-cracking villain.
A dearly devoted psychopath.
When I was seventeen, I met the devil.
I was a sheltered mafia princess, living in a cage.
He was the bratva bad boy who dared to trespass on my father’s property… me.
The only man who flaunted the rules, and embraced chaos...
Darkly handsome, tattooed, and dangerous, his wicked smile haunted my dreams for years.
Nikolai Chernov crawled inside my mind and became the star of my fantasies and nightmares at the same time.
Now, he’s back, older, more terrifying, and more powerful—more everything.
He’s supposed to be my family’s prisoner, taken to pay off a family debt between my father’s famiglia and his bratva.
But Nikolai Chernov has never met a rule he didn’t want to break and doesn’t plan to go easy.
He escapes and takes me with him.
He says I'm his insurance, but he won't let me go even when it costs him his freedom.
He tells me he never will, and that should scare me more than it does.
When this sheltered mafia princess meets a bratva devil on the run, neither of them will ever be the same.
This time, the villain gets the girl.
Malevolent King is Book 1 in a duet, and therefore ends in a cliffhanger. The story resolves in Runaway Queen. This is a dark mafia meets bratva romance, and as such contains dark themes which may not be to everyone’s tastes. Please read with caution.
