About this listen
Forbidden is dangerous. Forbidden is tempting. Forbidden is mine...
Introducing a new, steamy Italian mafia romance must-listen for fans of Michelle Heard, Sadie Kincaid, and Jill Ramsower!
Isabella
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.
Raffaele
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.
One click now to devour this steamy, enemies-to-lovers, age-gap, bodyguard mafia romance.
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 listen to those stories first. Please note: this is a dark romance novel with scenes that may be triggering and sexually explicit in nature.

I wake up chained to the bed of a stranger. He says I’m his wife. I have nothing—no money. No friends. No escape. He’s everything I never imagined: ruthless, calculating, feared. A beautiful monster with a face like a god’s, cold and untouchable. A mafia kingpin whose wealth could buy empires and whose power makes the world tremble. My captor. My husband.

Story
My billionaire boss caught me reading a very spicy book when I should have been working… The price of keeping my job? One night as his fake date. We’ve all read a book so good we couldn’t help sneaking just one more page, right? Mr Blackwood is dangerous - a London mafia boss - and was scheduled to be out all afternoon. When my favorite daydream is absent, I make do with fiction. I thought I was going to be sacked, or worse, for sure. But when I begged him, he looked at me severely and told me his conditions: I have to attend an event with him this evening and pretend to be his fiancee.

Sold to the mob. Four words I never thought I'd utter. Worse, it was my father who did the unthinkable. When the creditors come to collect, I'm handed over to the most ruthless man in New York City—Luca Valentino. The head of the notorious Kings is as gorgeous as he is lethal. Dark, possessive, and violent. Nothing like the boy I grew up with, my dead brother's best friend.

Kane Romano is the most handsome, powerful man I’ve ever met. He’s also the man holding me captive. My asshole of a step-dad found himself on the wrong side of the mafia, and then offered me up in exchange for his life. How does he have the right? I’m 18 years old, and my step-dad doesn’t own me. The problem is, Kane Romano agrees. Everyone knows you don't fight with a Romano, unless you want to end up in an unmarked grave. I should be scared, but every time I look into those dark eyes, I feel safe and protected.

Story
The first time I saw him, I knew I'd never want another man the way I wanted him. The second time, I drank a bottle of his most expensive cognac, which I'd never be able to afford on my own. And the third time… well, he caught me stealing from him. Stealing from the head of the Irish Mafia wasn't smart. But then I never claimed to be. Now I owed him a debt… a big one. And it couldn't be settled with money, or favors.

Eoghan turns obsessed, jealous, and unhinged. I’m a prosecutor. He’s a criminal. We have nothing in common.

The deepest my attention and affections have ever run are that of any fatherly figure, but those neglected baser needs take one look too long, and my fate is suddenly sealed—especially after the "accidental" nude debacle. I figure ignoring her and staying as far away as possible will get my point across; we can't happen and I can't be attracted to her.

Good Story!
It’s a good story, not to compare to its predecessors but it lacks something, more spice? Also it would have been a lot better as a duet. Looking forward to Savage Prince. (I love the Kings of Temptation books)
