Anarchy: Book Two in The Reclaimed Series

by C.J. Mae

A STORM IS COMING.

Indigo Russo was my best friend before she became the girl who broke me.

One night changed everything.

By morning, she was gone.

Nine years. No explanation. No goodbye.

Now she’s back, walking into my life as if she didn’t take half of me with her when she left.

But the girl I knew is gone.

In her place is a woman I barely recognise, hiding behind sharp smiles, carefully constructed masks, and secrets she refuses to share.

She wants to pretend we’re strangers. I want to hate her for leaving.

But forced to work beside her, our carefully maintained distance becomes a war of escalating dares, vicious games, and the kind of chemistry neither of us has ever managed to kill.

I can hate her.

I can fight her.

I can tell myself she means nothing.

There’s just one problem.

I’ve never been very good at lying to her.

ANARCHY is a dark mafia romance featuring childhood best friends turned lovers, enemies, and something far more dangerous; a lethal assassin heroine; a chaotic nightclub-owning hero; second chances; mutual pining; forced proximity; and nine years of unresolved history.

It is Book Two in The Reclaimed Series.

Each couple receives their own happily ever after.

ANARCHY can be read independently, but the series is best enjoyed in order, beginning with EMPIRE .

For mature readers. Please check the author’s content warnings before reading.
