Hostile Heir

From USA Today bestselling author Autumn Archer comes a dark mafia romance fuelled by power, obsession, and dangerous desire.

I was raised to rule, born to spill blood before I ever learned mercy.

When my father ordered her death, I should have obeyed.

That's what a Souza heir does.

But Carina was too innocent to kill, too tempting to forget. So I let her escape and never expected to see her again.

Now my father is dead, the crown is mine, and she returns covered in his blood, shaking where she kneels.

She hates me for forcing her into an indecent proposal she can't refuse, a temporary arrangement with a countdown neither of us can ignore.

I told myself I would use her and walk away. Instead, she became the one weakness I can't outrun.

So I sent her away under my brother's protection while a rival cartel pushed for a marriage alliance I never wanted.

I only agreed because I believed myself incapable of love. Carina proved me wrong.

If I refuse, I risk my family and my empire.

But none of that matters anymore.

Because she belongs to me now.

And I won't let go twice.

This complete duet edition contains Hostile Heir and Hostile King, delivering the full story of a cartel king and the innocent woman claimed by his power, obsession, and ruthless devotion-now in one volume.
