The Ruby Realm Duet , Book 2
By Persephone Black
Hell hath no fury like a Mafia princess scorned.
Natalie Miller thought she could gamble with my heart.
But she’s about to learn I always make the final play.
Released on bail, I’m a woman on the warpath. But vengeance will have to wait. First I need to reclaim my crown—and outplay my own Family.
But Natalie is a wild card I can’t ignore. She fooled me, seduced me, and betrayed me.
I hate her.
Now she’s back, begging for my help to expose the corruption festering in her agency.
I still want her.
We strike a bargain, but every charged encounter blurs the lines between ally and enemy, love and hate. And someone out there is willing to kill to ensure we never uncover their secrets.
To stay alive, I’m forced to put my trust in the woman who destroyed me once already.
And if she tries to play me again?
Natalie Miller had better watch her back.
