About this ebook
The first book in the new dark and decadent Society of Villains series, this is a dark age-gap mafia romance . . .
He's deathless. She's trying to find a reason to live.
LILA
My innocence was ripped from me one fatal night under the starless sky, resulting in an unwanted teenage pregnancy and a secret the Camorra must bury. So my father decided to hand me off to the highest bidder.
The lucky winner? Tiernan Callaghan, psychopath extraordinaire.
The Irish mafia prince wants me for all the wrong reasons: Alliance. Money. Prestige. War.
I am but a pawn in his twisted game. The man who sits on a throne of his enemies' skulls thinks I'm a weakling. Little does he know, in this chess game, the underdog wins.
Because the thing about bad bishops?
They protect good pawns.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE NEW SERIES?
Mafia Wars
Taboo tropes
Plot twists to make your jaw drop
One MM book (I told ya' it was coming)
Cameos from your favourite characters (someone said Wolfe and Francesca? Vicious and Millie? And what about the Forbidden Love gang?) . . .
READERS ARE ALREADY OBSESSED WITH L.J. SHEN:
'The way this book had me in a chokehold'
'I'm honestly speechless'
'New favourite author! I could NOT put this book down'
'This book was everything . . . GRAB THIS BOOK NOW'
'All emotions covered'
'Five stars all day long'
