ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date
We were supposed to be two passing ships on an unforgettable night…
I accepted a foolish dare that changed everything-
pretend you’re someone you aren’t until sunrise.
I chose to be normal and free.
Not bound by the duties my father forced on me.
The sinfully gorgeous god-like man staring at me in the club with the I’m-going-to-devour-you smile was who I picked to be normal and free with.
It didn’t matter that he looked like the kind of villain I should run from.
Mercilessly, he claimed my virtue.
And something I never knew existed until him.
That was supposed to be it.
One night. One time. One fantasy.
At sunrise, we’d go our separate ways.
Except, I never knew my one-night stand would turn out to be my father’s new bodyguard.
Or… that he isn’t who he says he is.
Not only does Lukiyan Romanechka have dark secrets and a separate agenda that’s about to fuel a war, but there’s also something else he wants.
Me…
Like Hades, he wants to steal me away from the light and take me to his dark world.
And I just might let him.

REVIEW:DEADLY GAMES by Faith Summers is a contemporary, adult, dark, Mafia, erotic, romance story line set in the same world as the author’s BLOOD AND THORNS Duet. This is twenty-eight year old Lukiyan Romanechka, and Persephone Vittorio’s story line. DEADLY GAMES can be read as a stand alone. Any important information from the Blood and Thorns Duet is revealed where necessary.
WARNING: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Lukiyan and Persephone) DEADLY GAMES follows Lukiyan Romanechka’s need for revenge. Lukiyan is desperate to avenge his sister’s murder, and the only lead goes directly to the second in command of the Camorra-the New York don-Emilio Vittoria but three months earlier, Lukiyan had a one-night stand with a mystery woman, a woman who it turns out, is Emilio Vittorio’s daughter. Hired by Emilio as Persephone’s bodyguard, Lukiyan is up close and personal with the woman that has stolen his heart but a woman who has been promised to someone else. As Lukiyan gets closer to discover the truth about his sister’s death our hero will quickly realize that all is not well in Persephone’s world. What ensues is the building but aggressive relationship between Persephone and Lukiyan, and the potential fall-out as betrayal and vengeance threaten everyone Persephone has ever loved including our story line hero.
Persephone has lost everyone she has ever loved including her twin sister and her mother. Promised to a man she does not love, Persephone is planning to run but Lukiyan suspects all is not right in our heroine’s world, and takes steps to claim Persephone as his own.
The relationship between Persephone and Lukiyan begins as a one-night stand in which neither one is aware of the other’s identity. Three months will pass until Lukiyan is hired to protect our story line heroine, a woman whose life is quickly spiraling out of control. Unable to forget the one who got away, Lukiyan begins a quick seduction of our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are erotic, intsense and edgy.
We are introduced to Persephone’s father Emilio, and his brother Frankie, as well as her cousin Raven; Persephone’s fiance Antonio Marchesi; the Bratva Pakhan Lucca Dyshekov, and Lucca’s second in command Aleksei. The requisite evil has many faces.
DEADLY GAMES is a dark and gritty story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, love and loss. The premise is twisted and tragic; the romance is raw and dramatic; the characters are broken yet determined.
