Kings of New York
A raw, tempestuous romance series that paints a thin line between right and wrong.
1. A DIRTY BUSINESS by Tijan
SYNOPSIS
When Jess Montell meets Trace West at a hockey game, she doesn’t know his name or occupation. What she does know is there’s an instant attraction that’s impossible to ignore—or forget. And forgetting is exactly what she wants to do when she learns he’s not just a successful Wall Street suit but the heir to one of New York’s biggest Mafia families.
The last thing Trace needs is a romantic anything with law enforcement, and parole officer Jess has trouble written all over her. Too bad he likes trouble. Especially when it’s a brunette bombshell with attitude and legs for days. She’s an absolute spitfire, and he wants to stoke that flame.
Trace didn’t ask for the Mafia life. Jess doesn’t want any part of it. They both know it’s safer to stay away, but the temptation is too hard to resist—no matter how great the danger.
2. A CRUEL ARRANGEMENT by Tijan
SYNOPSIS
This was my place. My business. Easter Lanes. Then a guy comes in, trying to rob me, daring to take it away from me. My home. My life.
Hell no. I won’t let my livelihood be threatened. No one knows what I’ve done to build this life for myself. Except he might.
Ashton Walden, a man I remember from when we were kids. Even back then I could tell how dangerous he would be one day. He’s now the head of the Walden mafia family, and my father is so in debt to them that they practically own him.
My dad and I are estranged and I want nothing to do with him or his debt, but the day after the attempted robbery, I don’t wake up in the hospital. I wake up in Ashton Walden’s home. And he drops a bomb on me.
If I want my livelihood back, I need to earn it back. And thus begins our cruel arrangement.
3. A CAPTIVE SITUATION by Tijan
SYNOPSIS
Every bride dreams of her wedding day. Today was supposed to be that day for me, except it’s not me marrying my college sweetheart. My best friend is doing that. Or, well, my ex–best friend. Instead, I’m over a thousand miles away, riding the subway in a city where lost people come to dream. Me—I’m just hoping to distract myself from my heartbreak. That is, until I met Jake Worthing.
Grumpy. Hot. A total jerk. Did I mention hot? Also, extremely presumptuous. Just because I look like I’m a thought away from a total meltdown does not mean I need an ambulance. He had the audacity to ask if I needed medical treatment. Well, good riddance to him. I don’t ever have to see him again. Except, well, I do when I’m taken to the police station for a total misunderstanding.
He walks in and… gah. He’s the same that I remember from our first meeting. Brooding. Still gorgeous. (The universe is not fair sometimes.) He’s stirring up emotions that I didn’t know were still inside of me. Then someone tries to shoot him and I’m a witness, and… er, how is it that I’m the one being kidnapped? And by Jake?
Now I’m heated for a whole different reason. If I get myself out of this captive situation, I’m going to reign down my own destruction starting with Jake Worthing. I just have to survive first and, also, not get my heart broken. Again.
4. A HATEFUL NEGOTIATION by Tijan
SYNOPSIS
Creighton was a dangerous crime boss with a growing empire. And he’s a psychopath. He’s also obsessed with Blake.
She wanted a normal life. That meant new friends and a life without Creighton. Except when Blake moves to New York for her senior year of college, Creighton follows because he knows that danger is close behind. He has always protected Blake, and he always will protect her, even if Blake hates how ruthless Creighton has become for her.
However, once they’re in New York, the dynamics between the two begin to change. Tensions heat up, and soon their chemistry is sizzling beyond what Blake can handle. That means that their usual back-and-forth has to change, with new rules and a new agreement.
Perhaps this negotiation could be for their happily ever after? They’ll just need to survive each other first…
