As head of the Larussio mafia family, people whisper "Giovanni Larussio" with fear and reverence across the land. I didn't aspire to be heir to the crime throne, but the choice is not mine. I must ensure the ruthless birthright endures, and the Italian family will not let anyone stand in the way of that.
Especially her... a girl from the wrong side of the tracks who doesn't belong in our world. But Serena's innocence calls to me on a primal level and my savage heart wants her for my own.
Breaking through the wall of Serena's defenses will not be easy, but nothing worth having ever is. I'm known for my fearless brutality, and nothing scares me-except losing the dark-haired beauty.
When my rivals find out Serena is my weakness, they make the deadly mistake of threatening her life. I'll enjoy teaching them to cower in terror from the beast they've unleashed with me.
But when she sees the deadly truth, will any chance at love die with my enemies?
Rule is the volatile first book in the completed Brutal Kings trilogy by Via Mari. It is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers, mafia romance. You will love this trilogy where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. Each novel in this collection builds on the next and is most enjoyably read from beginning to end with a guaranteed HEA in the final book, Reign.
