California King

CALIFORNIA KING

A Dark Mafia Romance

Standalone with Series Potential  •  Dual First Person POV  •  HEA

When a ruthless California cartel heir is forced to marry the daughter of a rival crime family to broker a coastal truce, their hatred ignites into an obsession neither can survive—or escape.

 

Dominic Silvestri is the undisputed king of California’s underworld—a cold, calculating enforcer turned heir to the Silvestri empire, which controls every port, vineyard, and smuggling route along the Pacific coast. After his father’s assassination, Dominic inherits not just an empire but a war: the volatile Navarro cartel is pushing north, and the only thing standing between a full-scale bloodbath is a fragile peace deal sealed in marriage.

His bride? Seraphina “Sera” Navarro—the youngest daughter of the very man Dominic suspects ordered the hit on his father. What neither expects is the visceral, consuming pull between them. Dominic promised himself he’d never touch her—she’s a Navarro, a weapon wrapped in white silk. But every act of defiance, every flash of intelligence behind those sea-glass eyes, dismantles him.

And Sera swore she’d use Dominic and discard him, but his brutal tenderness—the way he kills for her without flinching, the way he touches her like she’s sacred—cracks open something she thought her father had destroyed long ago.
