We were supposed to be two passing ships on an unforgettable night... I accepted a foolish dare that changed everything- pretend you're someone you aren't until sunrise. I chose to be normal and free. Not bound by the duties my father forced on me. The sinfully gorgeous god-like man staring at me in the club with the I'm-going-to-devour-you smile was who I picked to be normal and free with. It didn't matter that he looked like the kind of villain I should run from. Mercilessly, he claimed my virtue. And something I never knew existed until him. That was supposed to be it. One night. One time. One fantasy. At sunrise, we'd go our separate ways. Except, I never knew my one-night stand would turn out to be my father's new bodyguard. Or... that he isn't who he says he is. Not only does Lukiyan Romanechka have dark secrets and a separate agenda that's about to fuel a war, but there's also something else he wants. Me... Like Hades, he wants to steal me away from the light and take me to his dark world. And I just might let him. Deadly Games is a dark mafia romance inspired by Hades & Persephone's story. It contains dubious situations, mature content, and graphic violence some readers might find offensive and/or triggering. This is a complete STANDALONE.
