ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 3, 2023

Fated mates are something every shifter longs for. Right? Not Rylee ‘Dutchess’ West. The Fallen Legion MC’s princess would rather cut off her own arm than allow any man near her. Even the man she is fated to.

But you don’t always get what you want and soon she finds herself alone with Domenico Esposito, the head of the largest mafia family in the country. Things are complicated enough but there are other forces at work that neither of them are aware.

Can two hearts mend each other or will the breakdown in communication keep them apart?

REVIEW:LUST AND DESTRUCTION is the second instalment in the contemporary, adult SINS OF THE FATHER erotic, paranormal, romance series co-authored by Jade Marshall & Lila Fox. This is cougar shifter and head of the largest Mafia family La Cosa Nostra Domenico Esposito, and panther shifter/ mechanic/Fallen Legion MC princess Rylee ‘Dutchess’ West’s story line. LUST AND DESTRUCTION can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but for back story I recommend reading book one LOVE AND VIOLENCE where our couple are first introduced.

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

Told from dual first person perspectives (Rylee and Dom) LUST AND DESTRUCTION follows the building and fated relationship between our story line couple. Eight years earlier Rylee was rejected by her fated mated, and with the bond broken, her panther was open to someone new. Enter Mafia Don Domenico Esposito, who is determined to claim Rylee as his own but hurt by the past, Rylee refuses to accept Dom as her mate. Threats from the past target our story line heroine, using Rylee as a pawn between warring factions of the mob. What ensues is the building but acrimonious relationship between Rylee and Domenico, and the potential fall-out as Rylee’s past refuses to let go, and Domenico’s past resurfaces to take back control.

The world building continues to focus on the cold war between the Fallen Legion MC and the La Cosa Nostra Mafia family. All shifter members but rivalry is sparking the call of mates, mates controlled by the other sides.

The relationship between Rylee and Dom is one of unrequited love/mates. Rylee has been rejected in the past, and refuses to be burned by another man. Domenico has been biding his time before claiming Rylee as his own but the more she pulls back, the more Dom is willing let her go. The $ex scenes are intimate, erotic, and provocative.

There is a large ensemble cast of powerful and energetic secondary and supporting characters: Dom’s assistant Benny; Rylee’s father Grimm West, Rylee’s brother and panther shifter Draven West aka Psych, and Dom’s sister, cougar shifter Aryanna Esposito; Security Theo, Matteo, and Matteo’s daughter Isabel; Rylee’s ex Zero, as well as Romanian wolf shifter Xavier Popa.

LUST AND DESTRUCTION is a story of power and control, betrayal and vengeance, obsession and possession, fate and love. The fast paced premise is captivating; the romance is seductive; the characters are broken, desperate and determined.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 23, 2024

Fate decides our mates, and sometimes fate has a twisted sense of humor. I’m a lynx shifter and a mafia princess with two mates—a panther and a tiger.

Doom and Sypher are from rival motorcycle clubs and hate each other. I don’t know how we will ever make this work, but I do know I won’t give either of them up. I would rather be alone than give up one of my mates.

REVIEW: PASSION AND BETRAYAL is the third novella in the contemporary, adult SINS OF THE FATHER erotic, paranormal, MC, shifter, reverse harem romance series co-authored by Jade Marshall & Lila Fox. This is panther shifter and President of the Fallen Legion MC Cian ‘Doom’ West , tiger shifter and Broken Skulls MC member Sypher, and lynx shifter and Isabel Esposito, daughter of the local crime boss. PASSION AND BETRAYAL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalment is revealed where necessary.

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

Told from three first person perspectives (Cian, Sypher, Isabel) PASSION AND BETRAYAL follows in the wake of both Cian and Sypher claiming Isabel as their fated mate. With the potential for war between the Fallen Legion, and the Brokens Skulls MC, both men make a decision to claim our heroine together but the past is determined to destroy them all. What ensues is the quick building relationship between Cian, Sypher and Isabel, and the potential fall-out as someone else will pay for sins of the past.

The world building focuses on the relationship between Cian, Isabel and Sypher; the need to claim a mate; the betrayal of family and friends, and the fall-out when everything begins to spiral out of control.

The relationship between Cian, Isabel and Sypher is one of fated mates. Both men claim Isabel as their own but Isabel knows that without one another, there is something missing. The $ex scenes are provocative and intense.

We are introduced to Isabel’s father Matteo Esposito, store clerk Kristy, as well as the return of Cian’s father Micah Wes, and MC member Ghost.

PASSION AND BETRAYAL is a story of betrayal and vengeance, family, madness and murder, relationships and acceptance. The fast paced premise is intriguing; the characters are animated; the romance is limited to claiming our story line heroine.
