“I will find you. And if it takes a lifetime, I will find you.”

Ayna has just escaped death, only to crash head first into a new curse. This one is made by men.

Heart still bleeding, Ayna fights to keep strong. But how can she, when she is in the brutal hands of the very traitor who killed Myron? Especially when he is working with a man who has made it his mission to see her pay for her father’s crimes.

With her magic gone, Ayna is trapped and shipped off to her childhood world, where she uncovers plans at work that eclipse even Ephegos’s revenge—and an enemy who will stop at nothing to get what he wants.

If only Ayna knew that her king survived, she might cling to a brittle hope. But Myron is fighting his own battles in the search for his queen. Each one leads him a little closer to death’s door.

As they both plan their escape, they must make unlikely alliances and heart-wrecking choices—because this time, neither of them can rely on their magic to save them.

The curse on the Crows is broken, but all hope is lost. Will Ayna and Myron find each other and freedom, or will they end in a cage worse than death?

Full of intrigue, secrets, and heartbreak, Heart of Night is the second book in the sizzling epic romantic fantasy series, Wings of Ink and is perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, From Blood and Ash, and Beauty and the Beast.

As VP of the Hell’s Handlers Motorcycle club, Ty is no stranger to complications, but nothing could have prepared him for Kelsie. Months ago, he and his club were part of a daring rescue that pulled her from the depths of a human trafficking nightmare. She emerged haunted by her ordeal and inexplicably drawn to only one man—Ty. Though she fled the help his club offered, destiny brings her back into the protective orbit of the Hell’s Handlers.

Now, Kelsie is grappling with shadows that refuse to leave her side. Still terrified of the world and haunted by her past, she finds solace in the strength of Ty’s presence. As their bond deepens, parts of Kelsie she thought lost resurface. But as hope starts to bloom, the past crashes into her life.

Kelsie’s estranged, notorious family reemerges, bringing a storm of danger and drama that threatens to unravel everything she’s worked for. Ty and Kelsie must navigate the turbulence of her haunting past, a twenty-year age difference, and the fragile threads of trust they’ve just begun to weave.

With so many forces pulling at the seams of their budding relationship, the question isn't only whether love can triumph but also whether they can survive long enough to find out. In a world where trust is as precious as life itself, can Ty and Kelsie hold on to each other and defeat the demons—both within and from their enemies?

Title: Wrath: Seven Deadly Sins Mafia Romance
Author: Thetta James
Genre: Mafia Romance (Lovers to Enemies, and back to Lovers)
Release Date: April 30, 2024

“This story will take you on a roller coaster of emotions with scenes that are described in such detail that you may cringe. It’s not everyday you read a story that is so intense your heart palpitates!” - Goodreads Review

Being the princess and heir to the Rinaldi Family Empire was never my plan. My father groomed me despite my need for freedom. His path leads to death and destruction. My path leads to happily ever after.

Falling in love with the prince of the rival family wasn’t part of the plan. He was supposed to be my peace and way out of this life, but it wasn’t meant to be.

The tragic death of my father was the catalyst for the rise of my dark side. The part of me that I wanted to keep hidden.

Relentless, dark, and unforgiving.

My father’s killers have awakened the beast within and in the midst, lies and betrayal are uncovered. Hunting them down is only the beginning. The two paths collide and form a destiny where only their deaths will lead to my happily ever after.

I've enjoyed books for as long as I can remember. Reading allows you to expand your mind and make you say, what if? Six years ago, I became a part of the Book World as a Blogger and The Erotic Book Review was born.

I love reading and listening to all genres, but I'm very drawn to Romance on the kinky side of things. I believe pursuing your passion brings out your creativity and

allows endless possibilities to come forth. It is magic to take a reader on a journey that forces them to crossover into your world. My love for stories has inspired me to write and share my words. I hope readers enjoy them as much as I loved creating them.
