After an enemy strike, I may now be king.
In charge of keeping the crime family legacy alive.
I do not fear a thing, except losing her.
My dark-haired beauty is the air that I breathe.
No one gets to her without going through me.
Still, our brutal enemies will try.
When they come, they’ll learn how savage a Larussio can be.
Because I will unleash a reign of fury before letting Serena go.
Rise is the thrilling second book in the completed Brutal Kings trilogy by Via Mari. It is a deliciously dark, enemies to lovers, forced proximity, forbidden love, mafia romance. You will love this trilogy where the passion is fiery, the loyalty is fierce, and the stakes are high. Each novel in this collection builds to the next and they are most enjoyably read from beginning to end with a guaranteed HEA in the final book, Reign.
International Best-Selling Author, Via Mari, writes steamy and suspenseful billionaire, mafia and bodyguard romances as Via and steamy paranormal vampire romances under the pen name Sylvia Black.
Via lives in the Midwest with her husband. As a child raised in both the United States and the United Kingdom, she spent countless hours traveling and developed a passion for the written word at a young age.
She is also an avid reader of romance. In fact, you can find her curled up in an overstuffed chair, especially during winter when the wood fire is crackling and popping, reading a page-turning novel until the early hours of the morning.
