Rules of Bennett Series by Ember Michaels

Here kitty, kitty, kitty…. You can run, but you can’t hide. Before you were born, your father traded your life to secure his.

While your father paid in blood, you’ll pay with your life; and now you belong to me. My rules are simple. You will bow. You will break. You will obey. Follow them, and you’ll survive... moreHere kitty, kitty, kitty…. You can run, but you can’t hide. Before you were born, your father traded your life to secure his.

After years of hiding, I thought I’d escaped him; but you can’t hide when you belong to the devil. Taking away everything that I loved, he thought I’d be his perfect, broken little doll. Little does he know, I’m not one to bend so easily. Following his three rules is the key to my salvation, but all rules are meant to be broken—even if breaking them would lead to my death.

He made me bow. He made me break. Now we’ve reached the final showdown. The gates of Hell are crumbling as two monsters fight for the throne. Their prize? My soul— or so they think. I’ve played Bennett’s game for too long and in exchange for what I want, he requires me to follow the third rule. And what I want is Wilson Moreno dead by my hand. Bennett says you can’t win playing games against the devil, but he’s made me into a bigger monster than he is... moreHe made me bow. He made me break. Now we’ve reached the final showdown.

It was supposed to be the start of a new beginning. With our enemies slain, I was prepared to look to future ahead of us. Building La Fedeltá to be one of the most powerful families on the West coast. Planning a wedding. Being a family man and growing my family with my wife. But with all things, no one prepared me for the growing pains that came with building a mafia family from scratch. The hard work required to maintain a happy marriage or balance parenthood... moreIt was supposed to be the start of a new beginning. With our enemies slain, I was prepared to look to future ahead of us. Building La Fedeltá to be one of the most powerful families on the West coast. Planning a wedding. Being a family man and growing my family with my wife. But with all things, no one prepared me for the growing pains that came with building a mafia family from scratch. The hard work required to maintain a happy marriage or balance parenthood. I definitely wasn't prepared when my past mistakes came back to try to destroy everything and everyone I held dear. With the Korolevstvo bratva threatening the survival of both my organization and my family, I had to unleash the very being I promised Aurora I'd bury—Moreno the devil himself. I'd experienced too much loss, and I refused to have Alec and his men rip away the last piece of my heart. I'd give him the war he wanted, and I wouldn't let up until every single one of them paid the price in the only currency the devil accepts. In blood. less
