TITAN

I know I have a black soul. Bloodshed and danger are what I live for.

A King is supposed to rule his Kingdom using any means necessary to demand respect.

I’m not a weak man… A King kneels to no one.

I’ve only ever cared about one other person in my life, but the thing is, she never belonged to me. And before I could tell her how I felt, she left.

Now she’s returned, needing someone to save her.

Emilee York was always meant to be mine, and I’ll see to it that happens. I always get what I want, even if that means I have to take it.

And she’s no different. She’ll be my queen, one way or the other.

When I left Sin City behind me, I had no plans to return. I avoided everyone, even my friends, to stay in my bubble. I’ve always been the kind to pull away and run when things get difficult.

But one phone call changed everything, and I was racing back. If only I had known what was waiting for me.

Titan reappeared like a ghost haunting me.

One look and I knew he recognized me. I never forgot him or what we shared. Those feelings that no one else knew existed between us.

I ignored them back then, but now they are more intense than ever.

“Get on your knees…” He demanded I kneel for him.

I tried to act like he didn’t affect me, but he knew. He remembered the way I reacted when he would touch me. And just like he was taught to do—he used my weaknesses against me.

He staked his claim, and I became his queen to use how he saw fit.

What makes it worse is that I crave him, and when I kneeled, it was willingly.

But was it for nothing?

Excerpt

EMILEE

Titan steps up to me.

“Don’t …”

“Look who found her voice,” he muses.

“Shut up, Titan.” I snap, pulling my cell out of my pocket and dial Jasmine’s number. It rings once, twice. Three times. I pull it from my ear, and he snatches it from my hand. “Hey …”

His smile just widens. “So you do remember me.”

Like I could forget. “Give me my phone back.” I order reaching out for it.

He places it in the front pocket of his jeans. “Drop to your knees.”

“Excuse me?” I blink.

His dark blue eyes look me up and down, and the corners of his lips turn up like he knows a secret. And he does. Several of them about me. “Drop to your knees and I’ll give it back to you.”

My blood boils at his words. “Fuck you!”

He steps into me, pressing my back into my door, and I gasp in surprise. I thought he was big, but his hard chest presses into mine, and I have to tilt my head back to look him in the eyes. Even with my heels on, this man towers over me. I always liked that about him. He’s the tallest of all the Kings.

The scent of his cologne hits my nose, and I hate how much I like it. It brings back old memories that I want to drown in, but I make myself stay here in the present. The light pole I parked under casts a shadow over his chiseled face, making it glow like a ghost from my past.

“We came close that one time.” His eyes go to my chest, and I know he can feel my heart pound against his. He reaches up and runs his knuckles over my neck. His skull ring burns the skin, making me shiver. “So fucking close. It was the only time I could actually tolerate you.”

“Titan.” I swallow, trying to calm my nerves.

“Yeah, Em?” he asks as his eyes roam my face.

A fucking whimper comes out when he calls me by my old nickname. Then my breath quickens when he places his hands on my face, caging me in.

MY REVIEW:

A intriguing start to a new dark romance series with a confusing mess of mystery and suspense. The Dark Kings are a group of young hot bullies with cold, dark personalities and a penance for pain…causing it and embracing it. These guys inherited legit and illegal businesses from their dads, the Three Wisemen, and are carrying on the reign of power and pain. I don’t think there are stories about the fathers and there was a little disconnect for me about the reason for these Dark Kings to be harsh bullies starting in childhood and continuing through high school and college. They are all super intriguing with their hard bodies and harder temperaments. Their treatment of women is the worst. Use ’em and lose ’em is their mode but they have the women lining up for a chance to be on the receiving end of the hot sexiness. The leader of the group is Titan. The biggest and baddest of the Kings. He’s had a thing for the beautiful Emilee from childhood but Bones got to her first in high school. Poor Em. She started out as a princess with a cushy life until the adults in her life make a confusing mess out of things. Her father dies, her mother’s dying and her father’s business partner George is an evil jerk that offers Emilee only one option to keep her mother comfortable in her last days. Em comes home to be with her mother and reconnects with old friends and ends up in the sights of the Dark Kings. It’s not her old sex partner, Bones that she comes up against it’s the one she‘s always wanted, the imposing Titan. Em is caught up in a bad situation and makes bad decisions for the right reasons. She’s a hot mess and Titan comes to her rescue but the two vacillate between hot lovers and fierce enemies. Their relationship is all about sex and it‘s sizzling, panty melting hotness! The two seem to be in love but there’s not much of an emotional connection just lots of miscommunication and assumptions along with the steamy sex. But Titan wants her to be his and she is all in. The Dark Kings are powerful and wield that power for gain and to increase their empire’s influence. This is an excellent start to a new series about four intriguing hunks that are supreme bullies and a dark romance. I’m looking forward to the rest of this series. Can’t wait for Cross’s story!
