Marked by the Kingpin (The Kingpin’s Empire #1)
Valentina Cross
He marked me the moment he decided I belonged to him.
Adriano De Luca doesn’t ask.
He takes.
Feared kingpin. Ruthless strategist. A man who rules the city from the shadows.
And now… he wants me.
When my brother’s debt drags me into Adriano’s world, I become collateral in a war I never saw coming. He says he’s protecting me.
But protection from a monster often means belonging to one.
The deeper I fall into his empire, the more I see the truth behind his cold control — the obsession, the possessiveness, the way his touch burns like a promise and a warning.
I should hate him.
I should run.
But when enemies close in and I’m taken to break him, Adriano shows the world exactly what happens to anyone who dares to touch what’s his.
Cities burn.
Men disappear.
And I learn that being marked by the kingpin means there’s no escape.
Only surrender.
