Description:As District Attorney, Rameek Mayhem has had to learn how to balance both sides of his life. By day, he puts criminals behind bars. By night, he is the successor to the biggest criminal organization in the South. Until now, Rameek has been able to keep the underworld side of his life hidden, but when his best friend and the boss of all bosses to the mafia has to abruptly step down, Rameek has no choice other than to take his place.
Salen Roosevelt, better known as Rose, is the plug’s privileged princess. All of her life she’s been sheltered and spoiled. When he’s murdered and someone else takes over the family business, the comfortable lifestyle Salen has become used to immediately ends. Her only option is help and protection from one of the four families that has worked so closely with hers, but none of them are willing to risk taking her in… except the Black Mayhem Mafia.
On top of trying to take care of things for Assad, Rameek also takes on the responsibility of Salen. Whether it sends them into a war with one of the other families or not, Rameek immediately feels drawn to Salen. Not only does he want to protect her body physically—Rameek finds himself wanting to protect her heart too. She’s disowned her family to align with his. Her reward? His undying loyalty… but at what cost?
