About this listen
Nica
The De Luca name tastes like power, money, and a darkness that chills me to the bone, and now my father's blood screams for vengeance—I'm going to make them pay.
But then I see him: Elio De Luca. Sharp jaw, ink-black hair falling messy over his brow, and eyes that sear right through me.
I know he’s a predator, but even his stare makes my skin heat, making me question if this is really the same boy who shared stolen candy with me.
Now, he commands an empire built on blood. His eyes meet mine—and I’m sure there’s a flicker of recognition followed by a cold mask. I know I’m taking a risk by being here; still, I wonder if there’s something left of the boy I knew beneath that ruthless facade. Stepping into Elio’s world, a world I left behind as a child, could cost me more than just my heart—it could cost me my life.
Elio
The scent of cinnamon hits me like a ghost from a past I thought was long gone, and suddenly, she's here, at my event – Nica. My gaze sweeps over her curves, lingering longer than it should; she’s a distraction I can’t afford, yet I won’t look away. Her long, dark hair frames a face that draws me in. Her lips part, and I curse myself for wondering what she would taste like—I shouldn't want her, yet I do.
Victoria Galli – my best friend, until she wasn’t. What is she doing here? Her eyes are filled with a fury I can't decipher, and it seems to be directed at me.
She has no right to look at me like that. She has no right to be here, not in this world, my world. Part of me wants to reach out and explain the darkness I’ve become, but will Nica only see the monster that the rest of the world fears?
If you love The Mafia King by Rina Kent and Bound by Honor by Cora Reilly, then The Shadow King's Kiss by Raven Reeves is the perfect read for you. With a mix of enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, dark mafia romance, and dual POV, the story will keep you hooked until the end. HEA/HFN

Elio Portland. It's supposed to be a temporary fresh start, a chance to outrun the chaos back in New Haven and regroup. But even the chill of fall can't erase the heat of Nica's anger. It burns hotter than any Portland rain. She's consumed by the need to bring Sophia Falcone down, and I'm caught in the crossfire. Her obsession is like a wildfire, and I’m desperately trying to shield her from the flames. When Peter Rodgers appears, the billionaire with a haunted gaze and a smile that hides a darkness I know all too well, my worries deepen. What does he want from her? He says he's offering ...

To the outside world, I'm known only as Z. The enforcer. A widower with nothing to lose. An ex-SEAL, sworn to keep one vow: Protect the D'Angelo's at all costs. I'm not a good man, and I never claimed to be. Protecting her was second nature. Nothing more. Claiming her was just a one-night escape. But she made one mistake....A cardinal sin. Slipping away on her terms. Not mine. No strings. No commitments. No names? No way. There's just one price for my protection. And it's her. Full steam ahead.
