ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 30, 2024

I’d traded my hand in marriage for his help so I’d save my seat at the Syndicate’s table.

Now, I had a secret husband.

Cold and calculating Killian Brennan Cullen.

The hottest man I’d ever met.

And the heir to the Irish Cullen mafia

He promised to be a gentleman by day. But it was the nights that worried me. In the dark of the night he was commanding, ruthless, and possessive.

The agreement was two years. He’d protect me and my position in the Syndicate.

But who would protect me from him?

REVIEW:RAVENOUS KINGPIN is the fourth instalment in Eva Winners’ contemporary, adult KINGPINS OF THE SYNDICATE dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Killian Cullen, and Emory DiLustros’ story line. RAVENOUS KINGPIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Killian and Emory) RAVENOUS KINGPIN focuses on the forced marriage and relationship between our story line couple. Approximately six years earlier, Killian and Emory had a one-night stand but Emory ghosted Killian, never to be seen again. Fast forward six years, Emory DiLustros, along with her ruthless father, is a founding member of the Syndicate, and as such controls a large portion of Nevada and Las Vegas territories but Emory lost more than her innocence six years earlier, and has been on the hunt to bring it home. Killian demands Emory’s hand in marriage but a life together means Emory must keep her secrets close to her heart. Meanwhile, a human trafficking ring is targeting women and children, and Emory is the latest target.

The world building follows the tumultuous relationship between Emory and Killian; the search for the lost; a human trafficking ring in Emory’s territory, and the culmination of lost and found.

The relationship between Emory and Killian is one of second chances, of a sorts. Six years earlier Killian fell in love with our story line heroine but Emory’s life imploded leaving her a strong and more deadly version of herself. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and powerful secondary and supporting characters many of whom we met in the previous story lines. From the Russian Bratva, Italian Mafia, South American Cartel and the Irish Mob, the power elite are determined to take back control.

RAVENOUS KINGPIN is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, obsession, acceptance and love. Once again, the premise is dark, dramatic and heart breaking; the romance is fated and seductive; the characters are broken, dynamic and powerful.

“What the fuck are you doing here, Atticus?”

Killian’s cold voice sent chills down my spine even though it wasn’t directed at me. I’d dealt with my fair share of monsters, but my husband had a ruthless side to him that he hid behind his charming smile.

It probably blindsided people when he attacked; they’d never expect it from someone as beautiful as him.

“Emory and I have business to discuss,” Atticus drawled. I’d been buying time ever since our last encounter, ignoring his messages, hoping to find a solution and the location of the person I’d been looking for without his help.

But the old man was nothing if not persistent.

“Whatever you’ve got to say, now is not the time. And you’re trespassing,” Killian warned. “Tell me why I shouldn’t have my guards shoot you right now.”

“Because this business,” Atticus started, looking at me pointedly, “is the only thing standing between life and death.” He waved his hand nonchalantly. “Besides, they now work for me and the ones who refused are dead.”

Killian obviously thought him full of shit because he wasn’t moved. “My wife’s business is my business, so spit it out and be on your way.”

Dread coursed through me at the knowledge that I brought this dangerous man to our doorstep. I should have never made a deal with him, but desperate times called for desperate measures. And God, I was so fucking desperate.

“Atticus, this isn’t a good time,” I gritted, trying to keep my cool. I couldn’t let Killian learn my secret. Not now.

My heart raced as I watched Killian’s cold gaze lock on the man who held the key to the only thing I cared about.

Atticus’s eyes were on me, his lips lifting into a sick grin as he said, “My beautiful Emory. Time is of the essence if you want your answers.”

I wondered if Atticus was like my father, who had a way of bending the illusion of normality so that it forever stayed out of my grasp.

“What fucking answers?” Killian demanded.

Atticus ignored him. “Let me remind you of our deal: you give me a name, and I’ll give you yours along with the location. Two for one. See? Don’t ever say I’m not generous.”

“What the fuck is he talking about, Em?” Killian repeated.

“I waved my hand nonchalantly while my heart threatened to beat through my rib cage. “This guy’s lost his mind.”

Atticus chuckled as if I’d uttered the funniest joke, but there was little humor in his eyes as they studied me.

“Stop looking at her that way, or I’ll dig your eyeballs out of your skull,” Killian warned, his spine stiff, violence in his posture as he blocked me from the bastard’s view.

“This doesn’t concern you, Irishman,” Atticus stated calmly, batting away Killian’s threat. “Emory DiLustro should be grateful for my patience.”

“Her name is Emory Cullen and you better learn to use it,” Killian hissed, his eyes screaming murder. “My wife owes you nothing, and if you don’t get out of here, I’ll secure you a trip six feet under.”

Atticus’s nostrils flared, his gaze now on Killian. It would seem my husband’s reputation preceded him: Killian Cullen did not make empty threats.

Panic zinged through me as my thoughts whirled with a dozen what-ifs, but it was a moot point. I learned a long time ago that you had little say in the cards you were dealt.

I eyed my surroundings for a weapon before remembering Killian kept a gun hidden underneath the table in my foyer.

I took a small step back at the same time Atticus drew two guns, aiming them at my husband and me.

“Don’t move, Emory,” Atticus stated, his voice lethal. “Or you’ll be planning your husband’s funeral.” My movements halted and I leveled him with a glare. “Good girl,” he purred. “Now get back to your husband.”

“Don’t fucking move,” Killian said, his eyes still locked on the unwelcome visitor. “Stay exactly where you are, Em.”

“I was so fucking sick and tired of men telling me what to do. Yes, Killian had my best interests at heart, but I could protect myself. I survived two decades under one of the cruelest men in the Syndicate, for fuck’s sake. I deserved some credit.

“Let’s make this quick,” Atticus said with a twisted smirk, “so you two lovebirds can get back to professing your love for one another.”

I should never have trusted this asshole. My cousins and brother wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole and would have advised against my dealings with him had I asked.

But I didn’t ask. Atticus was my ticket to get to her, and that was more important than my pride.

“Unless you want to talk about…” Atticus trailed off, and somehow I knew whatever he was about to say would change my world forever. “Do you want to talk about Amara? You could see her by this time tomorrow.”

Amara. Amara. Amara.

The shock rocked me to my core at finally learning her name. All these years of searching and I finally got that little piece of information that I should’ve had all along.

“Who in the fuck is Amara?” Killian’s voice startled me out of my stupor and my mind raced through a thousand answers.

“It’s now or never, Emory,” Atticus stated matter-of-factly. “Who matters more? Who do you love more? Your husband or…”

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 29,2024

Christian “Priest” DiLustro.
A charming prince.
Only when it suited him.

I had a taste of him and got addicted. But he was a heartless bastard and an arrogant mafia prince whose only goal was to ignore me after we scratched the itch.
Just when I thought we both moved on, he swooped in, claiming he made a promise and he intended to keep it, even if it killed us both.

Ivy Murphy.
An Irish mafia princess.
Mine.

We might have started as a dream, but now I was her nightmare. I was damaged goods, scarred by my past. Still, I couldn’t allow anyone else to have her.
So I stole a marriage contract and her heart. It wasn’t mine to own, but I took it anyway.
For better or worse, in sickness and health, I intended to keep her.
Until death do us part.

•••••••••

REVIEW: SCANDALOUS KINGPIN is the third instalment in Eva Winners’ contemporary, adult KINGPINS OF THE SYNDICATE dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Christian ‘Priest’ DiLustro, and Ivy Murphy’s story line. SCANDALOUS KINGPIN can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from three first person perspectives (Christian, Ivy, Frank) SCANDALOUS KINGPIN follows the building relationship between our story line couple. Approximately one year earlier, Christian DeLustro made a move on Irish Mafia princess Ivy Murphy but walked away believing he was unworthy of happiness or love. Fast forward, Ivy Murphy is struggling with the murder of her father, and his final bequeath that she marry someone she doesn’t know. Enter Christian DiLustro, the man with whom Ivy will fall in love but the ghosts from Christian’s past refuse to let go, and her father’s killer hits too close to home for our story line heroine. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Ivy and Christian, and the fall-out as perceived betrayal, secrets and lies, threatens the growing love between our story line couple.

The world building follows several pathways including the heartbreaking abuse suffered by our story line hero; the abandonment by his birth mother, and the need to avenge those unable to protect themselves. Ivy’s own family history pushes our heroine to hunt down the woman she blames for destroying their lives.

The relationship between Ivy and Christian begins as a mutual attraction but Christian keeps his distance before making his move. ’Rescuing’ Ivy from a marriage to someone else, Christian finds himself falling for a woman whose heart he is about to destroy. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative .

The secondary and supporting characters include the previous story line couples, as well as Ivy’s over protective brothers, Christian’s siblings, his father Frank and his mother Aisling. The requisite evil has many faces.

SCANDALOUS KINGPIN is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, dysfunctional family dynamics, forgiveness and acceptance. The premise is dramatic, dark and intriguing; the romance is heart breaking and seductive; the characters are broken, determined and desperate.

He looked down, trailing up my bare legs before his emotionless gaze flicked up and caught mine. It was like he was looking straight through me. Goose bumps raised the hair on my arms, and I instantly knew who he was. Priest, the Syndicate’s kingpin who ruled Philadelphia.
Instinctively, I took a step back, and something dark moved through his eyes.
“Now what have we got here?” he said softly. My stomach dropped like lead and a quiver started in my chest. Being alone with him made it feel like there wasn’t enough oxygen in the small space. “You shouldn’t be out here alone, angel.”
He closed the distance between us in one powerful stride and a shiver ghosted through me. His eyes that locked on me were heartless. Invasive. Blue.
The moment stretched, stealing what little breath of air I’d managed from my lungs.
Just the idea of being this close to the man we were about to rob sent every nerve ending in my body tingling in expectation. I sensed danger, and I wondered how long it would be before my friends came looking for me.
Another step and I was cornered, his woodsy oak scent wrapping around me. His body singed as it brushed against mine, the heat powerful and impossible to ignore. My limbs felt heavy and light all at once, my skin buzzing like a live wire.
“I’m not alone.”
I swallowed when he remained quiet. He was the tallest man I’d ever seen in real life, his blond hair a halo framing his face. Except there was something dark and unhinged in his blue eyes, and I found myself unable to look away. That full mouth of his probably had ladies falling at his feet, and judging by his smirk, he knew it.
His gaze ran down my bare legs like ice melting on my heated skin and he chuckled, making my cheeks flame with heat.
“You enjoying yourself, angel?” His voice was an elusive timbre, each word twined with an abrasive edge. It was sinful, inviting erotic images into my mind. The kind that you kept locked in the pits of your soul. I averted my gaze a little too quickly, making it painfully obvious that I’d been staring. “Don’t be shy… I find myself quite fascinated by you too.”
He touched my red locks and curled one around his finger.
“I wasn’t… I’m sorry,” I said with a shake of my head, then immediately winced. His grip tightened, and I wondered what it would feel like if he tugged. “I need to go.”
“It was like a magnetic field surrounded us, leaving us alone in the darkened hallway while hordes of people mingled only a few feet away. He was brimming with raw sexuality and masculinity, his presence inescapable, leaving me frazzled. Everything about him warned me to run away, yet my body refused to move and my pussy chose that moment to clench with need.
“Not so fast,” he said, his voice low as he bent his head, bringing his mouth closer to my ear. “We should explore this.”
I blinked, suddenly turned on like never before. “Explore what?”
“This.” He nipped my earlobe and every thought I had withered away. Oh, dear God. This wasn’t part of the plan. “You want it too.”
I swallowed, shaking my head. We couldn’t do this. He, of all people, was not on the agenda tonight.
“I don’t think that’s wise,” I whispered.
“Then tell me to stop,” he said, his voice dropping another octave. He placed a hand on my hip and my skin bloomed with heat. “You aren’t even real, are you? An angel would never tempt the devil.”
Both hands on my hips now, he pulled me closer to him, our bodies flush.
“I’m not… tempting anyone,” I rasped. I couldn’t let this man touch me—I had to put a stop to it. And yet… my body leaned closer to his, light drawn to darkness.
“You can’t deny it, but something tells me you know that all too well.”
“I don’t even know your name,” I protested, but my voice was so quiet it was barely audible. Yes, Wynter had briefed me on this man, but “Priest” couldn’t possibly be his real name. “This is wrong.”
“Forget about right and wrong,” he commanded, ignoring my feeble reasoning. I nodded, almost as if in a trance. “Now look at me.”
I lifted my head, staring up at him. His pupils were so wide, the blue hue of his eyes almost swallowed by the black. But it was the longing in his gaze that captivated me.”
“I opened my mouth to tell him to stop, but no words came out. All I could focus on were his strong fingers flexing on my hips. My core contracted, flooding with heat and making me suck in a stuttered breath.
I licked my lips, every cell in my body vibrating with sexual energy. I didn’t know what it was about this man, but I wanted his hands on me, his fingers inside me. Just this once, I wanted to do something wild and reckless and let this gorgeous stranger ravish me and relieve this aching need.
“Now what?” I breathed out.
The man locked eyes with me as he trailed his hand up my thigh.
“Now I make you come,”

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date July 11, 2024

A devil in a Brioni suit.
My unforgettable one-night stand.
And a notorious member of the Omertà empire.
I learned that last piece of information a bit too late.
I never expected to see him again after our encounter so long ago. But it turns out that destiny had other plans and gave me the whole of him for several incredible hours. Then I bolted again—for the second time in my life.

He was Manuel Marchetti.
Off-limits. Forbidden. Dangerous.
So then why was I unable to forget him?
My body and soul came alive only for him. I hoped I’d never see him again, but it wasn’t meant to be. Everywhere I went, the man was there—stealing kisses, making promises, and painting streets red.
He seemed to delight in pushing my buttons and demanding more. Much to my dismay, it seemed I was unable to resist him.

Then, a chance encounter required his protection. He swept me away to his remote Italian castle and I could feel my resolve cracking under his burning gaze and searing touch.
The harder I tried to resist, the faster my body caved. With each passing day, I was starting to realize that
by the end of it all, I’d be the one succumbing.
Either by the secrets surrounding my life or under his consuming touch.

REVIEW: THORNS OF DESIRE is the fifth instalment in Eva Winners contemporary, adult THORNS OF OMERTA dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is forty-five year old Manuel Marchetti, and twenty-three year old, author/ singer Athena Kosta’s story line. THORNS OF DESIRE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Some of the events of THORNS OF DESIRE cross over with and run parallel to some of the events of Thorns of Death #3, and Thorns of Silence #4.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Manuel and Athena) using present day and memories from the past, THORNS OF DESIRE follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Athena was only looking for a one-night stand but never expected to come face to face with a ghost from the past. As a young child Athena faced death in the most excruciating manner, and in the ensuing time, never forgot but betrayal was about to come full circle when Manuel discovers the Chinese Mafia also known as The Triad was targeting our story line heroine. As Manuel proclaims himself guardian and protector of Athena Kosta, secrets are revealed threatening any potential peace between the ruling factions of the crime world. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Athena and Manuel, and the potential fall-out as the ultimate betrayal places Athena’s life on the line, and Manuel sets into place a plan to destroy them all.

The world building follows several paths including the overlap between four relationships, all friends of our story line heroine. As the Russian Bratva begins to circle against the Italian Mafia, the Triads are taking aim for sins of the past.

The relationship between Athena and Manuel begins as a one-night stand but Athena begins to struggle with a familial connection. Manuel is a man almost twice Athena’s age, and in this his experiences and former lovers reveal a history that hits too close to home. Manuel is desperate to protect the woman with whom he is falling in love, and Athena knows that without Manuel, her life would be forfeit for someone else’s sins. The $ex scenes are provocative and seductive.

The secondary and supporting characters are desperate and questionable on many levels. We are introduced to head of the Bratva Atticus Popov, and his son Danil Popov; several members of the Chinese Mafia; Athena’s mother Alexandra Kosta, as well as the return of Dante and Phoenix (Thorns of Silence), Isla and Enrico (Thorns of Death), Raven. The requisite evil has many faces.

THORNS OF DESIRE is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and madness, acceptance and love. The character driven premise is intriguing, dramatic, dark and intense; the romance is bewitching and passionate; the characters are determined, dynamic, powerful and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date April 26, 2024

Royce Ashford.
The hottest man I’d ever met.
The first man I’d fallen for.

I’ve had a crush on my best friend’s older brother for as long as I could remember. His charm and sex appeal could seduce a saint, never mind a sex-crazed woman.

With his cocky grin, those broad shoulders, and that filthy mouth, he was a heartbreaker in a leather jacket. And a leading man in every single one of my naughty fantasies.

The first time I kissed him, we ended up locked in the friend zone forever. Apparently my smooching skills left much to be desired. In my defense, I was too young and inexperienced.

But I grew up and totally got over him.

Until my engagement fell apart and Royce swooped in like a prince charming, saving me.

One tiny problem.

I was falling for him all over again. My lustful imagination, raging hormones and accidental glimpses of Royce’s nakedness weren’t helping. Neither were the rumors of Royce’s kinky tendencies.

But I refuse to be a footnote in Royce’s life. If we were doing this, we’d do it all.

We’d go all the way.

For fans of Eva Winners and the Billionaire Kings series, KINKS OF A BILLIONAIRE is set somewhere between books 3 and 4.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 16, 2024

Winston Ashford, not exactly Prince Charming.

Arrogant. ✅
Bastard. ✅
Gorgeous. ✅

I’d mistaken him for a ten when he turned out to be a minus five. He was so beautiful but damaged beyond repair. There was no amount of understanding or loving that could save a man who didn’t want to be saved. So after one night together, I gladly washed my hands of him.

Until everything went south.

My father was dead. My sister needed help, and it was time I behaved like a responsible older sister, one with a plan.

Unfortunately, my plan was slightly…lacking.

When I was caught red-handed stealing from my less than wonderful one-night stand, Winston Ashford became intent on bending me to his will.

It turned out that he was as ruthless as he was gorgeous and cruel as he was tender.

Forced into an unwanted arrangement with the arrogant bastard, the kind that required rings, my last name became his. I became his reluctant, yet thankfully, secret wife. Unfortunately, he became the man who unknowingly held all the cards. At least we went our separate ways even if legally we were still bound together.

Six lonely years later, our paths crossed again.

There was still a darkness inside of him that scared me down to my very core.

He claimed he wanted a real marriage. That he was a changed man. But deep down, he was still the same. Damaged. Battling invisible scars and habits that were hard to break.

He saved me once upon a time. It was time for me to save him.

But what happens when I’m not enough?

••••

REVIEW:SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE is the third instalment in Eva Winners’ contemporary, adult BILLIONAIRE KINGS dark, erotic, romance series. This is billionaire businessman Winston Ashford, and jewelry designer Billie Swan’s story line. SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE can be read as a stand alone but I recommend reading book two Misdeeds of a Billionaire, Byron Ashford and Billie’s sister Odette’s story line. SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE runs parallel to, and crosses over with events of book two MISDEEDS OF A BILLIONAIRE.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Winston and Billie) covering six and a half years, using present day and memories from the past, SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE follows in the wake of a one-night stand. Six years earlier, Billie’s beloved father lost everything, and desperate to help, Billie devised an ill-conceived plan to rob our story line hero. Caught, with only two choices, Billie reluctantly agreed to marry her target, Winston Ashford, but a conversation she was not meant to overhear, forces Billie on the run for six years before coming face to face with the man to whom she was married. Enter Winston Ashford. Winston was desperate to reconnect with his wife, a woman in trouble but a woman he believes is keeping too many secrets. Along with her sister Odette (Misdeeds of a Billionaire), our heroine found herself in a life and death situation with a bag of stolen diamonds, and a price on their heads. Reuniting with Winston meant bowing down to a man she refused to love, a man who was about to offer everything and more. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Billie and Winston,and the potential fall-out as Billie refuses to accept our story line hero.

The world building is complex. We are up close and personal with Winston’s time in the military, the abuse and neglect of a father who ruled by power, and a young woman desperate to save her family and friends. Billie’s attempted theft placed her in a precarious position, a position in which she acted beyond contempt.

The relationship between Billie and Winston is tempestuous at best. Billie is belligerent, immature, condescending and always angry but secrets reveal a connection between the Ashford and Swan families, secrets that push Billie to run from the man with whom she will fall in love. Six years apart, on the run with her sister Odette, Billie finds herself in a precarious situation brought on by desperation and greed. Winston is a man with the ability to take charge but the past refuses to let go, and Winston struggles with the ghosts from the past. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

The colorful and charismatic secondary and supporting characters include Winston’s brother Byron, Royce, and their sister Aurora; their father Senator Ashford, as well as Billie’s sister Odette.

SECRETS OF A BILLIONAIRE is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, dysfunctional family values, forgiveness, acceptance and love. The premise is dark and dramatic; the romance struggles in the face of numerous betrayals; the characters are desperate, determined, questionable and dynamic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 19, 2023

He told me he loved me, then abandoned me.

My sister was his first choice. Too bad for him, I refused to be his second.

Dante Leone was bad news with a gorgeous exterior and a dangerous mind. Emotionally unavailable and slightly unhinged, he was a heartbreak waiting to happen. Again.

I ran. He gave chase and my fate was sealed.

Roaming the world, I searched for a vital part of me. There’d be no new beginning until I found my answers. My taste of freedom was sweet, yet lonely. And oh, so fleeting.

I should have known he would catch up to me. After all, he thrived on the chase. I’d learned that the hard way.

But guess what?

I was no longer the woman he seduced all those years ago. I no longer believed the pretty lies that passed his lips nor the false promises in his deceitful eyes.

My name is Phoenix Romero, and I’d make the rules this time around.

Like my namesake, I had risen from the ashes and this time, I would be the one to make him burn.

•••••

REVIEW: THORNS OF SILENCE is the fourth book in Eva Winner’s contemporary, adult THORNS OF OMERTA dark, erotic, Mafia romance series. This is Phoenix Romero, and Dante Leone’s story line. THORNS OF SILENCE runs parallel to, and crosses over with the events of THE STOLEN EMPIRE trilogy that focuses on Dante’s brother Amon, and Phoenix’s sister Reina.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Phoenix and Dante) using present day and memories from the past, THORNS OF SILENCE follows the rekindling but tempestuous relationship between our story line couple. Five years earlier Dante and Phoenix’s lives spiralled out of control, and in the ensuing years, Phoenix never forgave the man who destroyed her heart but the truth is stranger than Phoenix could have ever imagined when she discovers that Dante is no longer the man with whom she had fallen in love. As Dante continues to pursue our story line heroine, memories from the past begin to reveal a Romeo and Juliet tale of dysfunctional family values. What ensues is the rebuilding relationship between our story line couple, and the potential fall-out when secrets reveal a dark and dangerous past for Dante and Phoenix.

The world building crosses over with the Stolen Trilogy in which we are up close and personal with Amon and Reina but Amon is unaware of the true nature of everything Dante lost, including the woman that once called to his heart. Phoenix continues to struggle with the anger she feels towards Dante Romero but Dante never expected to face the end, and loss the woman he loves, a second time. Three more years will pass before the truth is finally revealed.

The relationship between Dante and Phoenix is one of second chances but Phoenix is unable to let go of the past, a past that was taken without her consent. Dante is unaware of what happened or why, and in this, the slow reveal of his memories bring with it heart break and loss. The $ex scenes intimate and passionate.

There is a large ensemble cast of colorful and controversial secondary and supporting characters many of whom we have met in previous instalments and The Stolen Empire Trilogy: Dante’s brother Amon and his girlfriend/wife Reina; Dante’s right hand man Cesar; Reina and Phoenix’s father and grandmother Diana Bergman; Reina and Phoenix’s friend Isla and Raven; as well as Illias Konstantin (Thorns of Lust/Thorns of Love): Enrico Marchetti (Thorns of Death), and several members of the Russian Bratva, Greek Mafia, Japanese Yakuza, and Cartel.

THORNS OF SILENCE is a story of devastating betrayal and vengeance; secrets and lies; power and control, dysfunctional family dynamics, forgiveness, acceptance, loss and love . The premise is emotional, heart breaking and intriguing; the romance is limited as our couple spend most of the story line separate, fighting or at odds; the characters are broken, desperate and charismatic.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 29, 2023

It killed me to leave her behind.

Every night I closed my eyes to the images of her lifeless body in the hospital.

Her second chance came, but it wasn’t with me. It was with my brother.

I wanted to kill him and take his place.

Except it wouldn’t change anything. She hated me.

But then secrets unraveled. The truth would twist into something bitter before it set me free.

Masks dropped. Gloves were off.

I’d fight for her. I’d bring her back. I’d protect her even if it was the last thing I did.

We made a promise. She was mine, and I was hers.

To win, I’d risk it all. My heart and life included.

••••••

REVIEW: WRATHFUL KING is the third and final instalment in Eva Winners’ contemporary, adult STOLEN EMPIRE dark, erotic, Mafia romance trilogy focusing on twenty-six year old, heir to the Yakuza throne Amon Leone, and twenty-one year old, Omerta princess Reina Romero. WRATHFUL KING should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book two UNFORGIVING QUEEN.

NOTE: Due to the nature of the story line premise, there WILL be triggers for more sensitive readers. If you have not read any of the previous instalments, there may be spoilers in my review.

SOME BACKGROUND: Years earlier Reina met Amon during one of their fathers’ questionable meetings but throughout the next twelve years our couple would come in and out of one another’s lives. Reina fell in love with Amon Leone, true heir to the Yakuza empire, but the Leones and Romeros were enemies at best. With a long and colorful history between the two families, Reina and Amon were warned away from one another but the pull was too strong for our story line couple.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Amon and Reina) WRATHFUL KING picks up immediately after the events and cliff hanger of book two Unforgiving Queen. Reina has become a pawn; a target of a madman; payment for a debt; a life forfeited for sins of the past. Amon is desperate to find his missing wife, and with rescue, a long road to recovery would be needed to heal but Amon needed vengeance against the people responsible, and secrets proved a twisted history of betrayal, deception, affairs and illegitimacy, revealing all was not as it appeared to be, and familial bloodlines would take unexpected turns. What ensues is the search and rescue of our story line heroine, and the potential fall-out as betrayal will come at a cost for everyone concerned.

The world building continues to focus on the power at the top; the extremely dysfunctional family dynamics, and the search for the truth.

The relationship between Amon and Reina is one of second chances, of a sorts. Married but struggling to come to terms with the secrets and lies, Amon will be gutted when his young bride goes missing in the name of retaliation and revenge. The $ex scenes are passionate and intense.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Reina’s father Tomaso; Amon’s mother Hana and her boyfriend Hiroshi, his brother Dante; Reina’s friends Isla, Raven and Athena. The dysfunctional family dynamics continues to be questionable; the Cartel is taking aim at everyone involved.

Dante’s story is told in THORNS OF SILENCE (Thorns of Omertà 4)

WRATHFUL KING is a story of power and control, secrets and lies, terror and abuse, search and rescue, recovery and love. The dramatic premise is dark, raw and tense; the characters are desperate, determined, dynamic and struggling; the romance is slow to recover in the face of issues of trust and pain.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date September 14, 2023

A harmless kiss led to a fairy tale. Or so I thought. But unlike the happily-ever-

afters you read about, my tale didn’t end with a wedding gown and roses.

My fairy tale turned into a heartbreak. Inked in pain and sealed in tears.

It almost cost me my life. And my family.

He moved on as if nothing ever happened, while I was left to pick up the pieces.

Now, he’s back and he wants me.

To him, I’m a pawn to be used. Leverage. But I’m no longer his. I’m his brother’s betrothed.

Stuck between two brothers, the push and pull unbearable. One wants me, the other needs me. But the Leone brothers will learn that this queen won’t be a pawn.

To me, they are both men deserving of pain and poison.

My family thinks I’ll accept my fate.

Well, I plan to fight it.

REVIEW:UNFORGIVING QUEEN is the second instalment in Eva Winners’ contemporary, adult STOLEN EMPIRE dark, erotic, Mafia romance trilogy focusing on twenty-six year old, heir to the Yakuza throne Amon Leone, and twenty-one year old, Omerta princess Reina Romero. UNFORGIVING QUEEN should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up after the events and cliff hanger of book one BITTER PRINCE.

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

SOME BACKGROUND: Years earlier Reina met Amon during one of their fathers’ questionable meetings but throughout the next twelve years our couple would come in and out of one another’s lives. Reina fell in love with Amon Leone, true heir to the Yakuza empire, but the Leones and Romeros were enemies at best. With a long and colorful history between the two families, Reina and Amon were warned away from one another but the pull was too strong for our story line couple.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Amon and Reina) covering approximately three years UNFORGIVING QUEEN picks up in the aftermath of the cliff hanger of book one in which our heroine was fighting for her life. Rejected by the man that she loved, three years would pass in which Reina would become a fashion designer, and Amon Leone would fight his way to the top but the three years would acknowledge Reina’s love/hate relationship with the man that destroyed her life, and Amon’s need for the woman he cannot have. Fast forward to present day, wherein for the sake of the ‘family’, Reina has been promised to another man, and Amon is about to discover the truth about a family history he knew nothing about. As Amon and Reina each go their separate ways, someone else is making plans behind the scenes to take control from the top.

The world building continues to focus on Amon’s rise to power but throughout most of the story line our couple have been separated by secrets and lies, hatred and love, power and control. We are witness to Reina’s desperate need to protect herself from anyone trying to take her down, and in doing so, she will become the true princess as she fights her way to freedom.

The relationship between Amon and Reina is tempestuous at best. Amon knows Reina will never be his wife but that does not stop him take claiming our heroine as his own. No one else is allowed to touch the woman he loves including the men he once called brothers and friends. The $ex scene is passionate and intense.

Once again, there is a large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including Reina’s sister long suffering Phoenix, their father Tomaso; Amon’s parents, his brother Dante; Reina’s friends Isla, Raven and Athena. The dysfunctional family dynamics continues to be questionable; the Cartel is taking aim at everyone involved.

UNFORGIVING QUEEN is a story of secrets and lies, betrayal and vengeance, power and control, forgiveness and love, obsession and madness. The premise is dramatic, edgy and intense; the romance is limited as our couple are separated but their need for one another is palpable and strong; the characters are, once again, desperate, determined but powerful and dynamic. UNFORGIVING QUEEN ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
