Isabella Valentino is off-limits.
She’s young and naïve and most importantly, my new client.
I live by my rules; in my world, everything is about control.
That’s why I’m the best at what I do.
And rule number one: Never get involved with the principal.
But the woman is a force of nature.
Ignoring my rules and procedures, she’s intent on breaking every single one.
And my tethers of restraint grow weaker by the day.
Worse, I don’t want to fight it anymore.
Isabella Valentino is mine.

I’m a mafia princess, heir to the Kings’ throne.
My entire life has been spent behind the bars of a gilded cage.
Protected, admired, adored.
Controlled.
I long for freedom.
In one night, everything changes…
Enter Raffaele Ferrara, dark, broody and tormented.
And the most frighteningly gorgeous man I’ve ever seen.
My new bodyguard is all rules and restraint.
But beneath our clashes, an undeniable attraction simmers—dangerous, forbidden, irresistible.

Ruthless Guardian is the first steamy story in the fiery Ruthless Heirs series. Each book is a standalone novel complete with a HEA, of course, because even villains deserve a happy ending. This series is the next generation of the Kings of Temptation, but it is not necessary to read those stories first. Please note: this is a dark romance novel with scenes that may be triggering and sexually explicit in nature, specifically but not limited to pregnancy loss, violence and torture.
