Fallen Rook

Society of Villains #3

by L.J. Shen

From New York Times bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a sizzling age-gap, forbidden MM romance about an FBI agent and the Camorra enforcer who thaws his frozen heart.

Tom

I know a secret that can destroy the most powerful crime organization in America.

For years, I’ve watched Enzo Ferrante get away with murder. Literally.

He’s slipped between the FBI’s fingers time after time, spreading terror and mayhem on the streets of New York, masked beneath a gorgeous face and elegant pedigree.

A sloppy error on his part results in an incident that unexpectedly binds us together.

Suddenly, I’m no longer the special agent who is thirsty for his blood.

I’m his savior. His god. The light in his pitch-black existence.

Now that I caught the social butterfly in my spider web, I’m never letting go.

He is about to taste the venomous kiss of betrayal as I put him and his entire family behind bars for the rest of their lives.

Because when the night falls, the Camorra’s enforcer crawls between my sheets and whispers all his sordid secrets in my ear.

Enzo Ferrante is completely and utterly mine, and nobody knows.

Not even his lovely fiancée.
