Ruthless Lands

Contemporary Romance Author Drea Rhodes dives into the world of dark romance with this mafia-fueled, fast-paced tale of chosen family, sacrifice, and self-discovery.


The baby killer who took his one true love.
The crafty switchblade artist, who shaved an asshole’s hair into pigtails.
The bartender that all the passing through miners want to take to bed.
That just about sums me up.

Instead of sipping a drink on the European coast with my best friend, I’m busting my ass to cover a mortgage and pay my dad’s medical bills. Asshole went and got himself a case of stage-three kidney cancer because being an abusive alcoholic wasn’t punishment enough. The last thing I need is trouble, and that’s just what blew into town in a fancy black suit.

Dominic Storm must be more than a developer, but he keeps showing up, like a damn flea I can’t kill. What’s even more annoying is his devilish face, so perfect he needed a shit attitude or he’d be a god himself. He wants the deed to my family’s remaining land, and as much as I want to leave it all behind, it’s not up to me. Dominic has put me in the midst of a war, and I have to protect myself and mine, no matter the cost, even if it’s my life.
