Alessandro
They say I should’ve died in that explosion.
Maybe I did… because the man staring back at me in the mirror sure as hell isn’t the heir to the Gemini empire anymore.
He’s a scarred, savage thing held together by pain, rage, and a hunger for vengeance.
And now they’ve sent her, this fiery, foul-mouthed redhead with zero self-preservation to babysit me.
I should hate her.
But the longer she stays, the more her hands aren’t just stitching up my wounds…
They’re breaking through my armor, awakening a fire I swore was dead.
And if I’m not careful, I’ll end up dragging her into my bed and into my darkness.

All I wanted was to disappear.
Start over. Stay hidden. Keep breathing.
I didn’t plan on becoming the live-in nurse to the most dangerous man in Manhattan.
Alessandro Rossi is angry, wounded, and lethal.
Even half-broken, he could end me with a word.
But I see what’s behind the scars—the monster everyone fears and the man no one else knows.
I should run.
But the thing about running from monsters?
Eventually, you stop being afraid of the dark.
And worse, you start craving it.
Brutal Heir is the third spicy story in the dark and decadent Ruthless Heirs series. Each book is a standalone novel complete with a HEA, of course, because even villains deserve a happy ending. This series is the next generation of the Kings of Temptation, but it is not necessary to read those stories first. Please note: this is a dark romance novel with scenes that may be triggering and sexually explicit in nature.
