People whisper “Giovanni Larussio” with reverence.
I’ll soon be king of the criminal underworld.
No one stands between me and what I want.
Serena is beautiful, innocent, and takes my breath away.
I’m obsessed with the dark-haired beauty.
She’s sworn a generational pact of hate.
But I won’t let that stand in my way.
Her innocence lights my dark-hearted soul.
I’ll burn the world down claiming her for my own.
Rule is the volatile first 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.
