It’s amazing what you’re capable of when you have nothing to lose…
Collateral damage. That’s what my family was—collateral damage in a mafia war.
They were my whole life. But I’ve found something else to live for. Vengeance.
I was a wife. A daughter. Now I’m Havoc.
Every last one of the bastards responsible will die. No one can stop me.
Not even him. Nico Romano, Don of the Italian mafia, is a complication I don’t need.
He’s too much like the monsters I hunt—savage, ruthless, cold. An enemy. I shouldn’t want him. But I do.
Falling for him might cost me my shot at revenge and the only thing of value I have left. My soul.
Too bad I’m starting to think he might be worth it…
*Havoc, book one in The Discord Series, is a sexy, dark and angsty, enemies-to-lovers mafia romance featuring a heroine who will stop at nothing to avenge her family, and the brooding, alpha anti-hero who will do anything to keep her…even when it involves kidnapping.
Happily ever after guaranteed. Download today, but grab a glass of ice water first. You’re gonna need it.
Be Forewarned***This is a dark mafia romance. There are mentions of family loss, scenes with explicit violence, and some dub con. This is not a ménage. There is a HEA for this couple, but the overall story arc does continue from book to book.

Nico: My thoughts scattered as someone came barreling around the corner and slammed directly into me. It happened quickly and I grabbed their upper arms to keep them from bolting. A lot of kids who grew up on the street would use that trick to take off with a man’s wallet.
I’d done it plenty of times myself when I’d been young. My gaze zeroed in on the beautiful woman in my arms. She looked up at me in shock, recognition sparked in the depth of her blue eyes.
I noted the grocery bag she held and the one that’d been knocked out of her grasp upon our collision. She must live in this building and since I didn’t know her it stood to reason, she thought I was my brother.
She tried to pull herself out of my hold and for some reason I didn’t want to let her go. Something within me felt a possession toward her that didn’t make any sense.
I was a man who listened to his instincts—they’d kept me alive and had never led me astray—and they were screaming at me that this woman was mine. I tightened my grip and tugged her forward. She gasped as I won the game of tug-o-war and her body ended up molded against mine.
She was a tall, athletically built woman, and her curves fit perfectly against me. She’d gone still when I’d yanked her against me, as though she realized it was a bad idea to keep struggling. I ran my hand down the length of her braided hair, her tresses silky against my skin.
Once I was only hanging onto her with one hand she sprang into action, jerking away from me and breaking my hold. I watched in amusement as she hurried toward the building, shooting me glances over her shoulder.
She’d left her bag of groceries on the sidewalk. A smile tugged at my lips and satisfaction filled me. Knowing that she would rather abandon her groceries than stay in my presence longer than necessary stroked my ego. I liked when they ran from me.
