ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date March 10, 2025

He’s a blue-eyed villain. As charming as the Devil himself, and just as dangerous. A predator made to seduce. And I fell right into his trap.

I’m a mafia princess, sister to the ruthless king of the Sinacore crime family. Ruthlessly overprotective, that is.

With the recent murders involving the heads of several criminal organizations, my brother amps up security, making decisions that stifle my already insignificant personal life.

So when he sends me away for my own good, I see the chance, and flee. I run as fast as I can from my gilded cage, straight into the trap set by our greatest enemy. Gideon Black.

I’m his captive now. Something to barter with. Something to play with.

Now instead of a gilded cage, I’m held in one made of brutal seduction and dark promises. The more I fight the desire he stirs in me, the hotter our fire burns. My walls are crumbling faster than I can build them, and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to resist the temptation before I can escape…

or if I’ll surrender to the sweet torture and become a willing victim of the Ferryman.

•••••••••••

REVIEW: BRUTAL KING is the seventh and final? Instalment in Aidee Jaimes’ contemporary, adult THE SEVEN DEADLY SINACORES dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Gideon ‘The Ferryman’ Black, and Sofia Sinacore’s story line. BRUTAL KING should not be read as a stand alone as it is the culmination of the previous six instalments. The events of BRUTAL KING cross over with, and run parallel to the events of several of the previous instalments, revealing some of the back story behind The Ferryman’s journey of revenge.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

SOME BACKGROUND: All is not well in the criminal underworld- several of the men in charge of the most powerful families in America have been murdered, and there is a connection for all to a murder from the past. The survivors, headed by Luca Sinacore, have formed a group known as the Sinacore Alliance, in an effort to take down the person(s) responsible for the death and destruction of family and friends.

Told from several first person perspectives (Gideon, Sofia, Luca, Scarlet, Carina) BRUTAL KING focuses on the relationship between Sofia Sinacore and Gideon Black aka The Ferryman. Sofia Sinacore dislikes following the rules, and in an effort to protect his younger sister, Luca Sinacore takes charge, and transfers Sofia to a university across the country but Sofia, TSTL, thinking she is not a target, runs from the man in charge but all does not go according to plan when Sofia becomes a prisoner of The Ferryman, a prisoner to be used as a pawn for control and power. Gideon Black never expected to find himself in ‘possession’ of the youngest Sinacore and makes Sofia an offer she cannot refuse-frreedom, but at a cost. As The Ferryman continues his pledge to take down the men who killed his father, the past comes full circle as Gideon must face the man who started it all. Betrayal comes at a cost, and Gideon must choose between his life and the life of the woman he loves.

The world building crosses several story lines, as the reader is up close and personal with The Ferryman’s need to avenge the death of his father but all is not as it appears to be as Gideon begins to fall for the woman who has stolen his heart. As Gideon’s second in command falls for one of her targets, Gideon must come to terms with the reality of what is happening and why.

The relationship between Gideon and Sofia begins as jailer and prisoner but Sofia is a prisoner in a gilded cage, a cage that holds more secrets than she could have ever imagined. When Gideon offered Sofia her freedom, our heroine battles between head and heart knowing her future belongs to the man with whom she has fallen in love. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and determined secondary and supporting characters many of whom we have me in the previous instalments including Luca and Carina, Gavin and Andie, Scarlet and Rowan, Arran and Skye, and Noah Esposito. We are introduced to Gideon’s majordomo Henry. The requisite evil has many faces.

BRUTAL KING is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, madness and murder, power and control, dysfunctional family dynamics, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is twisted, dramatic, dark and gritty; the romance is fated and edgy; the characters are desperate, dynamic and controversial.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 17, 2024

He’s my favorite enemy. The one that makes me burn hotter with every fight. My adrenaline rush.

As The Ferryman’s hit woman, it’s my job to take out each of the men that form the Sinacore Alliance. All worthy opponents. But it’s Gunn Sinclair that gets me hot and bothered.

Huge and sexy as hell, with dimples almost as deadly as the knives he wields, I find myself looking forward to our encounters.

But when he follows me to New Orleans on a mission to take me out, all hell breaks loose between us and the flames rage out of control.

With the lines between enemies and lovers obliterated , we are left with a choice to make. …kiss or kill.

••••••

REVIEW: SAVAGE RULE is the sixth instalment in Aidee Jaimes’ contemporary, adult THE SEVEN DEADLY SINACORES dark, erotic, crime world series. This is Alliance member Gunner ‘Gunn’ Sinclair, and assassin Scarlet Black’s story line. SAVAGE RULE can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including knife play.

SOME BACKGROUND: All is not well in the criminal underworld, several of the men in charge of the most powerful families in America have been murdered, and there is a connection for all to a murder from the past. The survivors, headed by Luca Sinacore, have formed a group known as the Sinacore Alliance, in an effort to take down the person(s) responsible for the death and destruction of family and friends.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gunn and Scarlet ) SAVAGE RULE focuses on the building but forbidden relationship between our story line couple. Scarlet Black is an assassin who, on orders from a person known as The Ferryman, is methodically killing anyone with a connection to the man in charge but Scarlett’s latest assignment has our heroine struggling with orders in the face of questionable validation, and the appearance of the man with whom Scarlet will fall in love. Enter Gunner Sinclair, a member of the Sinacore Alliance, and a man who is determined to protect Scarlett with his life. Sentenced to death by the Alliance, Scarlet finds herself facing her executioner, the man who stirs something inside Scarlet she long thought dead and gone. In hiding, our couple find themselves reconsidering the future in the face of their own betrayal of the people in charge.

The world building follows the forbidden relationship between our story line couple. For months, an assassin, working on behalf of the man known as The Ferryman , has been systematically killing anyone with connections to the Ferryman’s past, a past mired in death and destruction of someone he loved. Scarlet Black owes her life to The Ferryman but in the wake of some ambiguous targets, Scarlet begins to questions The Ferryman’s decisions. Gunner Sinclair, Luca’s right hand man and best friend, knows that to stop the killings he must stop the woman known as Scarlet Black but Gunner sees something beneath the cold façade of a contracted killer, a woman who is hurting for sins of the past.

The relationship between Gunn and Scarlet is one of the forbidden. Scarlett is Gunner Sinclair’s target, and Gunner is Scarlet Black’s mark but their mutual objectives find themselves re-evaluating their option, their futures in the face of their own demise. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

The secondary and supporting characters are limited. We see the return of Lucan Sinacore, his wife Carina; The Ferryman aka Gideon Black, and Maise Cameron.

SAVAGE RULE is a story of betrayal and hurt, power and control, family and relationships, forgiveness and love. The premise is intriguing, emotional and haunting; the characters are animated, determined and desperate; the romance is thought provoking and spirted. SAVAGE RULE ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you have been warned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 30, 2024

I always knew there’d be a cost to pay for being a thief, but when I cross Gavin Alexander, the wicked price he demands might be more than I can afford.

After living on the streets for years, I managed to get my life together for my son. I have a job as a housekeeper. A car that runs. A tiny apartment.

But when things suddenly become dire, I’m left with no choice but to steal again. I make myself believe it’s chump change for my boss, the billionaire would never notice the few hundred dollars from his dirty laundry.

My mistake isn’t that it’s pennies to a wealthy man. It’s that he’s not just any wealthy man. He’s the king of the Vegas underworld, a dangerous criminal with dangerous enemies. When he catches me red handed and his eyes trail over me, a flicker of desire forms in them and he makes me a deal. Report me to the police and lose my son, or enter his dangerous world and submit to his wicked desires. Fans of Zoe Blake and Cassandra Robbins will devour Wicked Empire, the fifth book in the Seven Deadly Sinacores, a scorching hot mafia romance by Aidee James that takes dark romance to a whole new depth.

••••

REVIEW: WICKED EMPIRE is the fifth instalment in Aidee Jaimes’ contemporary, adult THE SEVEN DEADLY SINACORES dark, erotic, crime world, romance series. This is thirty-eight year old, billionaire hotelier Gavin Alexander, and housecleaner/ single mother Anderson ‘Andie’ Burrows’ story line. WICKED EMPIRE can be read as a stand alone but for back story and cohesion, I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers including knife play.

SOME BACKGROUND: All is not well in the criminal underworld, several of the men in charge of the most powerful families in America have been murdered, and there is a connection for all to a murder from the past. The survivors have formed a group known as the Sinacore Alliance, in an effort to take down the person(s) responsible for the death and destruction of family and friends.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Gavin and Andie) WICKED EMPIRE follows in the wake of a theft by our story line heroine. Andie Burrows is a single mother, and finding miscellaneous amounts of money while doing laundry, tempts our heroine to take what does not belong but Andie will be caught, and in an effort to save herself from doing time, Andie is blackmailed by the man in charge. Enter billionaire Gavin Alexander, the man with whom Andie will fall in love. Gavin Alexander is determined to take back what Andie took from him, and in doing so, demands seven days of her life, a life that is now under Gavin’s control but someone has targeted our story line hero, and Andie and Gavin are about to find themselves on the run, with no one to trust, including those Gavin once considered family and friends. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Andie and Gavin, and the potential fall-out as Gavin must come to terms with a possible betrayal from more than one person.

The world building focuses on Gavin’s life, his business, his hotels, and his casinos but someone else is determined to take control, and targets Gavin and our story line heroine.

The relationship between Gavin and Andie begins as employer and employee but quickly turns sour when Gavin catches Andie with money she does not own. To keep her from prison, Gavin blackmails our heroine into seven days of servitude, seven days in which Gavin finds himself falling in love with reluctant prisoner. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful, powerful and questionable secondary and supporting characters. Gavin struggles to trust those closest to him , and in this, Gavin will have to trust someone who could destroy them all.

WICKED EMPIRE is a story of betrayal and vengeance, greed and opportunity, power and control, trust and uncertainty, friendships and family, acceptance and love. The premise is dramatic and raw; the romance is intoxicating and impassioned; the characters are desperate and dynamic.

•••••••••

REVIEW: VICIOUS CAPTOR is the fourth instalment in Aidee Jaimes contemporary, adult SEVEN DEADLY SINACORES dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Rowan Kane, head of the McKenzie Crime Family in Boston, and Cartel princess Louisa Duran’s story line. VICIOUS CAPTOR can be read as a stand alone but for back story, I recommend reading the series in order as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rowan and Louisa) VICIOUS CAPTOR follows the second chance romance and relationship between our story line couple. Five years earlier, Louisa Duran was devastated when the man that she loved, walked away from their midnight wedding proclaiming she was nothing more than a power move and pawn. Fast forward to present day, Louisa is about to marry someone she doesn’t love, only to find herself a prisoner of the man who broke her heart. Enter Rowan Kane, the new head of the McKenzie Crime Family, and the man who is about to pay for sins of the past. What ensues is the contemptuous but rebuilding romance and relationship between Rowan and Louisa, and the fall-out as Louisa makes good on a plan to destroy the man who destroyed her heart.

The world building continues to focus on the search for a killer, the man known as The Ferryman, a man who is seeking vengeance for sins of the past. As Rowan McKenzie reclaims the woman he has always loved, The Ferryman has other plans, including an alliance with the woman who will betray Rowan’s heart. Louisa has become a pawn in the lives of the criminal underworld but a pawn who is about to enact the ultimate revenge.

The relationship between Rowan and Louisa is one of second chances. Rowan left Louisa at the altar five years earlier, and Louisa has never forgiven or forgotten the ultimate betrayal. Believing Louisa will forgive him his sins, Rowan sets about to re-establish their relationship only to discover that everything was not as it appeared to be. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Rowan’s men Declan, Axel and Phil; Louisa’s father, Don Fernando Duran, and her mother Diana; as well as Louisa’s brothers Arturo, Renzo and Daniel. The requisite evil has many faces.

VICIOUS CAPTOR is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, secrets and lies, forgiveness and acceptance, love and family. The premise is dramatic,intense and dark; the romance is provocative ; the characters are determined, desperate, broken and impassioned.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 23, 2023

He wanted my innocent sister to become his submissive bride. What he gets instead, is me.

Forcing my father into a debt he cannot afford, the ruthless king of the Sinacore Mafia demands my twin as payment. A sweet prize to hang quietly on his arm. But when she runs away in fear, it’s up to me to save my father from certain death by sacrificing my freedom to a beast who has no idea I’m not the bride he bartered for.

There’s a reason he wanted her and not me.

I am not sweet. I am not weak. I bite back.

When he realizes who I am, he promises I will pay for my deception. That he will bring me to my knees and make me beg. That I’ll love every minute of it. And before long, I’m left wondering if I really want the fire raging between us to destroy him in the flames… or if it was the punishment I was after all along.

••••••

REVIEW: MERCILESS VOWS is the first instalment in Aidee Jaimes contemporary, adult SEVEN DEADLY SINACORES dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is the new king of the Sinacore Mafia, twenty-nine year old Luca Sinacore, and twenty-three year old Carina Di Persia’s story line.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there may be triggers for more sensitive readers.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Luca and Carina) MERCILESS VOWS follows in the wake of the murder of Luca Sinacore’s brother Tony, a murder that forces Luca to take control of the Sinacore Crime Family. In an effort to prove he is worthy, Luca must take a wife, and demands the hand of Alma Di Persia, as payment for a debt but Alma is too timid and weak, and her twin sister Carina, steps in to take control. All is not well in the criminal underworld, several of men in charge of the most powerful families have been murdered, and Luca is struggling to find a common denominator between them all. It is his new wife, Carina Di Persia that stumbles upon a similarity and probable cause, a cause that is about to hit too close to home. As Carina and Luca continue to butt heads in their marriage of convenience, someone else is pulling the string behind the scenes. What ensues is the building but contemptuous relationship between Carina and Luca, and the potential fall-out as the real target of a killer is someone close.

The relationship between Luca and Carina begins acrimoniously although our couple have known one another for several years. Luca and Tony, along with Alma and Carina were thrown together by mutual family business but Carina has always believed Luca despises the ground upon which she walks, a belief predicated upon behavior and actions. The $ex scenes are intimate, aggressive and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters. We are introduced to Carina’s twin sister Alma, and their father Gregorio; Luca’s sister Sofie, their uncle Ray, and Luca’s right hand man Gunn Sinclair. The requisite evil has many faces.

MERCILESS VOWS is a story of betrayal and vengeance, power and control, crime and punishment, acceptance and forgiveness, family and dysfunction. The premise is gritty and dramatic; the romance is provocative; the characters are energetic, enigmatic and charismatic. MERCILESS VOWS ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
