About this listen
His obsession would be her ruin.
There is no room for sweet or innocent in my world. No room for mistakes or weaknesses. My life was full of darkness, greed, and corruption. Blood was spilled as easily as water and life taken without much thought. I made a vow to my sister that the people who harmed her all those years ago would pay, and the only currency I would accept was their lives. Until she arrived.
She didn't belong here, a light in the dark, a flower growing on a battlefield. Her sweet nature was like a beacon for my depraved heart, and I knew going anywhere near her would be her damnation. But there's something about her, it calls to me, and it's not long before her siren song snares me.
I would have her. I would keep her.
She's wise to be scared of me, for I'm not the hero in her story.... I'm the villain.
I'm the very man who will corrupt her. But I'm going to take her anyway.
Even if it ruins her.
Wicked Heart is a full-length stand-alone dark romance, book one in the Wreck & Ruin series and a spin-off from the Twisted City Duet. It is not necessary to have heard the duet, but it could enhance your listening experience.
As it is a dark romance, please expect dark themes throughout. A list of these are within the book.

Story
I always knew darkness crept through this city; like a shadow, it never really goes away, always watching, always waiting. People sin and people kill; it's a way of life. I just never expected to be thrown into the middle of a war I had no hope of surviving. Alexander Silver is as brutal as he is beautiful. A devil in disguise. The man destined to end me. I didn't go looking for trouble, and yet it found me, nonetheless. I could either join it or let it crush me.

When I met him, I didn't realize who he was. I still didn't when I let him take me back to his hotel for the night. I never expected to see him again. Until I found him on my father's couch, revealing he and I are connected in more ways than simply a one-night stand. To make it worse, he was a Saint, part of the ruling mafia family that owned the city of Redhill. I should have stayed away at that point. I had a lot at risk and my own mess to deal with, but it wasn't that easy. Not when he kept showing up, and that one night turned to two, and then three.

Virtuous. Kind. Patient. These were words never associated with Gabriel Saint. He was a monster. The devil that haunted the city of Redhill. And he had found me. I managed to hide for a while from my past, present, and future. But I should have known they’d come looking. After all, I had the heir of the city in my arms, and if I know anything about the ruling crime family of this city, it’s that family comes before all else. When Gabriel comes for me, I fight but know it’s useless, and when he forces me to be his wife, I vow to make his life as miserable as possible.

Story
Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

I never wanted a wife. No one is safe with me. No one is good enough for my daughter. But if I want to rule over the wealthiest crime family in New York City, I only have two weeks to find one. When Elsie broke into my home, I saw an opportunity, so I forced her into a marriage she didn't want. No one crosses me, not even someone as beautiful as Elsie. She may fight me with that smart mouth, but she will obey me–or return to the hell she came from. I told her she was mine for a year. Then she'd be free.

From a poor underground street fighter, I rose to fame as the world heavyweight boxing champion. No one knew I was also a monster who hunted in the shadows. Trapped in the mafia until my debts were paid. A simple deal held my freedom—unify my belts. It seemed simple until an enchanting British firecracker landed on my lap, knocking me sideways. Wanting her was dangerous for us both, but I took her anyway. Leaving me with the choice, fight for my freedom or hers. When the truth is unmasked, could she still love me? Would love be enough to battle our demons and come out on top?

When my father tries to force me to marry one of his cronies, I run away to my half-brother's home. He's the black sheep of the family, a biker, not an Irish mobster. At the Satan's Sinners' MC compound, I find more than I bargained for. Not my brother, ironically, but a man who gives a whole other meaning to "white knight." He's dark and mysterious, a seeker of answers and a finder of truths. Even better? He offers me an out, a shotgun wedding in Vegas.

Dark, possessive, and violent. Nothing like the boy I grew up with, my dead brother's best friend.

My life has never been easy. I’ve had my fair share of pain - every moment is a fight to survive. With my brother on his deathbed, it’s up to me to provide and protect what’s left of my broken family. I do things I never thought I’d be capable of, becoming a person so hardened to the world that when I look in the mirror, all I see is a stranger. When a twist of fate lands me at rock bottom, I make the ultimate decision and give away the only thing I have left - my freedom. I belong to them now…the Beast. The Brains. The Bastard.

"What are you wearing under this dress?" he asked, his mouth brushing hers, the words whisper-soft. Not what she expected him to say. "E-excuse me?" His teeth sank into her lower lip, making her yelp. "Focus." On what? The demon club? The humans dying downstairs? The fact that you're a f--king vampire? Where should I begin? He sighed, his forehead falling to hers. "Astasiya, we have very little time to sort this before the Conclave. I need you to work with me. Both our lives depend on it. What are you wearing?"

All I knew about life was anger and violence. Pain and suffering. Kill or be killed. I was a “fixer” for the Ruin - a syndicate for the Bratva, Cosa Nostra, Cartel, and any other organized crime faction that dealt in the darker, crueler aspects of humanity. I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive. And then I saw her.

I just never expected to be thrown into the middle of a war I had no hope of surviving. Alexander Silver is as brutal as he is beautiful. A devil in disguise. The man destined to end me. I didn't go looking for trouble, and yet it found me, nonetheless. I could either join it or let it crush me.

When I met him, I didn't realize who he was. I still didn't when I let him take me back to his hotel for the night. I never expected to see him again. Until I found him on my father's couch, revealing he and I are connected in more ways than simply a one-night stand. To make it worse, he was a Saint, part of the ruling mafia family that owned the city of Redhill. I should have stayed away at that point. I had a lot at risk and my own mess to deal with, but it wasn't that easy. Not when he kept showing up, and that one night turned to two, and then three.

All I knew about life was anger and violence. Pain and suffering. Kill or be killed. I was a “fixer” for the Ruin - a syndicate for the Bratva, Cosa Nostra, Cartel, and any other organized crime faction that dealt in the darker, crueler aspects of humanity. I was a free agent who was called upon to do things weaker men didn’t have the stomach for. And when you surround yourself with death for long enough, soon you don’t remember what it felt like to be alive. And then I saw her.

I used to fantasize about meeting a masked madman who would love me endlessly and obsessively. He would look after me in a world where no one else did. He would manipulate all the strings that held up my life until I had exactly the one I wanted. And then one night, I met him. Only he wasn't the hero I always imagined he would be. When we left the forest together that night, I thought I'd escaped the villains relatively unscathed, but my true villain was the man whose arms I felt safest in.

JAMES JOSEPH as Kingston… was PURE PERFECTION! 🥵James Joseph is one of my favorite male narrators, but he leads the pack when it comes to erotic and spice! And this book had some REALLY DELICIOUS spice! EVERYTHING he narrates is perfection! If you like dark, spice, mafia(ish) vibes and British accents - THIS IS YOUR BOOK!
I’ve already bought book 2!
SO GOOD, SO SPICY!

The audiobook was great. I’m a huge fan of duet narrated books and this one hit the spot in that aspect. Zara Hampton-Brown is starting to become a favorite of mine. I adore her accent and loved the emotion she put into Elanor’s character. Before this book I had never heard of James Joseph and he truly was Kingston. He embraced the role and I don’t think there could have been anyone else for the part. His voice was soothing and so easy to listen to.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. Ria Wilde’s Twisted City Duet was the first dark mafia romance I had ever read, and I devoured it just as fast as I devoured this one. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this world.
Quick dark steamy read

Kingston is not a character you immediately fall in love with. He is not easy to love, nor is he quick to love others. He is complicated and problematic, but as his true personality and core nature is revealed throughout the book, you kind of can’t help but love the sexy, complex man. He is at heart a protector. You have to earn your way into the circle of those he cares for, but once there, he would kill or die for you. And if he truly loves you, he will burn the world for you.
His one mission in life is to avenge the kidnapping, violation, and years-long torture of his sister by the Syndicate, a worldwide criminal organization. He meets Eleanor in the office of one of the leaders of the Syndicate who’s masquerading as a law-abiding citizen, hiding in plain sight. She is the man’s personal assistant, and Kingston is immediately attracted and intrigued by her. He doesn’t understand it and has no time for it, until he realizes she might be just the spy he needs to take down the Syndicate once and for all. He coerces and seduces her under the guise of revenge, but winds up falling in love for real. Together they work to bring the leaders of the Syndicate to justice, but will the cost of retribution be too high?
James Joseph and Zara Hampton Brown flawlessly narrate this incredible story. They absolutely knock it out of the park with their performances, which are recorded in duet style (my favorite narration style). The intensity and raw emotion in their shared performance was exactly what this intriguing and captivating story requires, and they delivered it in spades. I was completely engrossed in their narration from start to finish and hated to see it end. If you enjoy dark or mafia-style romance audiobooks, you absolutely do not want to miss this one!
Intense and Incredible Story with Superb Narration!
